BY LIAM KELLY AND TIM HALL
A sentient machine that is smarter, faster and more efficient than any human being turns on its creators and destroys them. Sound familiar? This basic narrative forms the premise for many of the popular culture references to Artificial Intelligence that many of us grew up with. In film, such as 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Matrix, as well as countless science-fiction novels, this is a trope that modern storytellers have been fascinated with.
