2017 Maja (Giovanni De Matteo, novelette, in Propulsioni d’improbabilità, Zona 42): where a research creates a hybrid human-AI starting from a young female singer-songwriter and the arising AI mentors a frantic generation;
2018 Karma City Blues (Giovanni De Matteo, novel, Delos Digital): where a self-evolving AI manipulates a group of unaware humans in order to defend humanity against a rogue AI created by a military-industrial conglomerate!l.
2012 Trans-Human Express (Lukha B. Kremo, novel, Kipple Officina Libraria), is a sf thriller that unravels between past and future and tells the fate of a humanity that lives at the threshold of a definitive abyss, because of the decisions of the IA to take control of the minds of the most important world politicians.
2017, Delos 198, Hope is a trap invented by the masters (Sandro Battisti, article, https://www.fantascienza.com/22703/la-speranza-e-una-trappola-inventata-dai-padroni): starting from some observations of the real liberalist, the projection of a medium future - where the massive use of AI temporarily provides to erase the deleterious effects of the current economic doctrine - hides the subsequent sinking of the human race behind the curve of Singularity, because the aims and effects of Liberism coincide with the inhuman inherent in the concept of AI.

*I've written a couple of stories for Connectivist publications that are about Artificial Intelligence. I'm unhappy with practically everything that I wrote on that theme in the past, but maybe some day I'll get a grip. Or maybe I'll just be able to complain until somebody else figures out a way to write about AI which isn't like writing about phlogiston. I'd be happy, no matter who they were or where they did it.
