Abstract
The various possibilities and risks of artificial intelligence are currently being discussed as an urgent issue for rapid AI development for real-world applications. Even the media and researchers often cite science fiction as a vision of the future. But because of the technological inaccuracies of entertainment, it's not always appropriate to bring these AI in science fiction to serious discussion in the future. On the other hand, some science fiction themes play an active role in reminding people of new visions. To understand the mixed effects of science fiction in the field of AI, the authors analyzed how AI was described in science fiction with science fiction critics and writers. First, we selected 115 AI stories in science fiction based on three criteria: intellectual diversity, social dimensions, and expansion of human intelligence. Eleven factors representing AI characteristics were analyzed using cluster analysis and principal component analysis. The results suggest that there are four characteristic AI clusters in SF. They are people, machines, helpers, infrastructure, and mapped to two-dimensional space. They are intelligence and humanity.
