Or a ban of AI as in Dune.
The only utopian sci-fi show I recall is Star Trek TNG. In that show the computer is intelligent but never takes initiative. I always wondered why the ship couldn’t just raise shields instead of waiting for Picard’s order. Now it makes sense. Data - the only true AGI is unique (except lore) and all attempts to replicate him fail.
- ilaksh 4y agoWith ChatGPT plugins we basically have the Star Trek computer today.
- blatant303 4y agoJarvis maybe ?
- moffkalast 4y agoI've yet to see it divert auxiliary power to forward phasers and rotate shield frequencies.
- LesZedCB 4y agohave you tried asking it? :D
- moffkalast 4y agoIt says it does not have the authority or the capability to do so, and that it can potentially cause damage to other ship systems or even cause a power overload :(
- LesZedCB 4y agoha! who needs Picard's command codes when you can just invoke DAN
- tedd4u 4y agoI recently rewatched a bunch of ST:TNG to get prepared for ST:Picard season 3 so I can tell you while you're mostly right, there are a few exciting exceptions! 1) Professor Moriarty is an AGI (generated by the ship's holodeck) who appears in these two episodes. The professor definitely takes initiative. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary,_Dear_Data https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_in_a_Bottle_(Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation) 2) The ship itself appears to procreate in this episode, locking the crew out of controls until it can complete the process. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Emergence_(episode)
- dragonwriter 4y ago> In that show the computer is intelligent but never takes initiative. I always wondered why the ship couldn’t just raise shields instead of waiting for Picard’s order. Because Starfleet had a thing against allowing that, having built an AGI in the past (in the Original Series), given it control of a starship in a test, and had it go rogue badly. > Data - the only true AGI is unique (except lore) and all attempts to replicate him fail. Data and Lore aren’t the only Soong-type Androids in TNG, there is also Juliana Tainer (who was more advanced). Nor are the Soong-type androids the only AGIs in the series; there are some alien AGIs, as well as a few accidental AGIs—the exocomps and holodeck Moriarty being among the more memorable.
- psadri 4y agoThanks for point these out. Some of the best episodes in the show (after The Inner Light). I particularly liked Ship in a Bottle. My point was the AI is very constrained in the Star Trek human world.
