A.I. : Artificial Intelligence (2001)by Ian Watson and Brian Aldiss.The Complete Dialogue.Part OneATLANTIC OCEANNARRATORThose were the years after the ice caps had melted becauseof the greenhouse gases, and the oceans had risen to drownso many cities along all the shorelines of the world.Amsterdam. Venice. New York. Forever lost.Millions of people were displaced, climate became chaotic.Hundreds of millions of people starved in poorer countries.Elsewhere, a high degree of prosperity survived when mostgovernments in the developed world introduced legalsanctions to strictly license pregnancies, which was whyrobots, who were never hungry and who did not consumeresources beyond those of their first manufacture, were soessential an economic link in the chain mail of society.LIBRARY-CYBERTRONICS CORP.HOBBYTo create an artificial being has been the dream of mansince the birth of science. Not merely the beginning of themodern age, when our forebears astonished the world with thefirst thinking machines: primitive monsters that could playchess.How far we have come. The artificial being is a reality ofperfect simulacrum, articulated in limb, articulate inspeech, and not lacking in human response?SHEILAAhhh!HOBBY.and even pain memory response.How did that make you feel? Angry? Shocked?SHEILAI dont understand.HOBBYWhat did I do to your feelings?SHEILAYou did it to my hand.HOBBYAye. Theres the rub. Undress.At Cybertronics of New Jersey, the artificial being hasreached its highest form. Universally adopted mecha, thebasis for hundreds of models, serving the human race in allthe multiplicity of daily life.Thats far enough. But we have no reason to congratulateourselves. We are, rightly, proud of it, but what does itamount to?Sheila, open.A sensory toy, with intelligent behavioral circuits, usingneurone sequencing technology as old as I am. I believe thatmy work on mapping the impulse pathways in a single neuronecan enable us to construct a mecha of a qualitativelydifferent order. I propose that we build a robot, who canlove.TEAM MEMBER #1Love?TEAM MEMBER #2But we ship thousands of lover models every month.TEAM MEMBER #3Of course, youre your own best customer, Siyatsu-sama.TEAM MEMBER #2Quality control is卾ery important!HOBBYTell me, what is love?SHEILALove is first widening my eyes a little bit and quickeningmy breathing a little and warming my skin and touching withmy -HOBBYAnd so on. Exactly so. Thank you, Sheila.But I wasnt referring to sensuality simulators. The wordthat I used was love. Love like the love of a child for itsparents. I propose that we build a robot child, who canlove. A robot child who will genuinely love the parent orparents it imprints on, with a love that will never end.TEAM MEMBER #3A child substitute mecha?HOBBYBut a mecha with a mind, with neuronal feedback. You seewhat Im suggesting is that love will be the key by whichthey acquire a kind of subconscious never before achieved.An inner world of metaphor, of intuition, of self motivatedreasoning. Of dreams.TEAM MEMBER #4A robot that dreams?HOBBYYes.TEAM MEMBER #4And how exactly do we pull this off?FEMALE TEAM MEMBERYou know, it occurs to me. um.with all this animusexisting against mechas today, it isnt simply a question ofcreating a robot who can love, but isnt the real conundrum- can you get a human to love them back?HOBBYOurs will be a perfect child caught in a freeze-frame -always loving, never ill, never changing. With all thechildless couples yearning in vain for a license, our littlemecha would not only open an entirely new market, it willfill a great human need.FEMALE TEAM MEMBERBut you havent answered my question. If a robot couldgenuinely love a person, what responsibility does thatperson hold toward that mecha in return?Its a moral question, isnt it?HOBBYThe oldest one of all. But in the beginning, didnt Godcreate Adam to love him?CRYOGENIC HOSPITALMONICAThe baby was born as the first leaves of autumn fell. A babyboy. And Marions wish came true. The boy had white hair. Hewas baptized Martin after his grandfather.HENRYDr Frazier. Hi. Its good to see you.DR.FRAZIERHi. Howre you?HENRYListen, there was an article by Randenbach in the Journal ofChinese Medicine - theyre talking about these viruslocators.DR.FRAZIERHello again, Monica.HENRY. microscopic, synthetic hunter killers. Did you read thatarticle?MONICAI can still hear you!DR.FRAZIERIm worried about her, Henry. Shes really got me worried.HENRYYeah, I know.DR.FRAZIERShes in the most difficult position of feeling she shouldmourn the death of your son. After five years your instinctstell you to mourn him, too. But medicine assures us thatmourning is inappropriate, that Martin is merely pending.HENRYPending.DR.FRAZIERSo all her grief goes undigested. Henry, your son may bebeyond our science, but its your wife who can still bereached.HOBBYS OFFICEFIRST ASSISTANTThe screening process was extremely difficult. It was almosttougher than building the prototype.SECOND ASSISTANTOf our 2,000 employees a surprising few met your minimumrequirements for the in-house testing. Initiate. Employmentrecord. Quality of life style. Query. Internal data. Loyaltyto the firm. And.in this individuals case, a familytragedy that may qualify him above the rest.HOBBYIll see him.FOYER-SWINTON HOMEMONICAHenry.HENRYDon抰 kill me.MONICAHenry, what are you doing?HENRYI love you. Don抰 kill me.Door抯 closed.DAVIDI like your floor.MASTER BEDROOMMONICAI cant accept this! There is no substitute for your ownchild!HENRYYou dont have to accept it or even try - its not too lateto take him back!MONICAWhat were you thinking?!HENRYIll do whatever you want me to do!MONICAYou think I can just, I can just.HENRYIll do whatever you want me to do!MONICAI dont know. what to do.HENRYI know, I know匢ll return him to Cybertronics first thingin the morning, it抯 gone.MONICAGood. I mean Henry, did you see his face? Hes, hes soreal. But hes not.HENRYNo, hes not.MONICAI mean, inside hes like all the rest, isnt he?HENRYA hundred miles of fiber, yeah.MONICABut outside he just looks so real. like he is a child.HENRYA mecha child.MONICAA child.MASTER BATHROOMHENRYThe show of faith my company has placed on me.on us, isextraordinary. Now there are a few simple procedures we needto follow if and when you decide to keep David. If youdecide to keep him, there抯 an imprinting protocolconsisting of a code string of seven particular words whichneed to be spoken to David in the predefined order that抯been printed here. Now Monica, for our own protection, thisimprinting is irreversible. The robot child抯 love would besealed, in a sense hardwired, and we抎 be part of himforever.Because of this, after imprinting, no mecha child can beresold. If an adoptive parent should ever decide not to keepthe child, they must return it to Cybertronics fordestruction. Now, I had to sign a letter of agreement orthey wouldn抰 even let you see David. You have to sign ittoo. right here. Monica. don抰 imprint until youreentirely sure.MONICASilly man. Of course I抦 not sure.MARTINS BEDROOMDAVIDWould you like me to sleep now?MONICAUh.HENRYGood Idea.

You will find him hanging on a nail.He is made of nice dry wood and I抦 sure he will make a nicefire for my roast.MARTINS BEDROOMMONICAPinocchio worked until midnight, and instead of making eightbaskets, he made sixteen. Then he went to bed, and fellasleep. As he slept, he dreamt he saw the fairy, lovely andsmiling, who gave him a kiss, saying, Brave Pinocchio, inreturn for your good heart, I forgive all your pastmisdeeds. Be good in the future, and you will be happy.Then the dream ended, and Pinocchio awoke, full ofamazement.
