Abstract:
“Cooperating System” is a speculative writing project that goes beyond the conventional notion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as an invisible, all-knowing force built on values of efficiency and scale. It is written as a script for a TV series in the future that has both AI and human actors. Each episode finds human and AI characters co-habiting in slice-of-life situations within a diversity of cultural contexts. The AI characters depicted in this screenplay have unique personalities and idiosyncrasies. They exist as independent beings and forge relationships that can be deep and meaningful but can also be messy and adversarial.
