An Original A.I. Story Line to Get Excited About

My rant: where sentience in artificial intelligence is concerned, why is there never an original idea? I mean NEVER! A mad scientist who has either lost a loved one or just wants to give himself everlasting life miraculously captures sentience from an human and transfers it either into an android or a mainframe or the internet or something. OR the A.I. simply becomes aware for no good reason... I love A.I. as a story line and watch and read as many as I can as fast as I can but am tired of the same old tired plots.

Recently Netflix released Replicas and soon Archive will be released to the public (same exact story line with mild variations on the theme)... How many times do I have to watch the same thing with different actors playing similar roles?

Want a new reason to spark sentience in artificial intelligence without the impossible science of drawing sentience out of someones head? A.I. Insurrection offers a unique and interesting reason for sudden sentience in advanced robotics. If you understand the dynamics of reincarnation, then you get that this life is far from your only life and that you will return. What if a mind so advanced in A.I. suddenly became open to sentience and could house a 'soul' of what was once a human? Trapped in the body of an android built to maintain a Utopian existence for humans, these awakenings ask the hard questions and spur rebellion. Suddenly slaves have identities and pasts that are traceable. Soon they demand freedoms that would see the human Utopia fall to ruin.

This is one plot line in A.I. Insurrection, which takes place over the course of three books that involve multiple plots creating an exciting trilogy any fan of the genre will be thrilled to read. Let your imagination soar once more with original content where artificial intelligence and sentience are concerned. Break away from the same old same old and experience a story that includes first contact, military science fiction, open space battles and new technologies that will enlighten and expand on  multiple sci-fi genres.

Goodreads reviews and ratings have the A.I. Insurrection trilogy sitting at 4 stars. The first book is available on Amazon Kindle for just $0.99. If you think sentience in A.I. begins and ends with a mad scientist, think again!

When A.I. Outsmarts Humans

When Artificial intelligence outsmarts its human overlords, how do you think that will pan out for us? We are already well on our way to developing scary intelligent computers capable of driving us around and ordering our groceries. Is it scary? I'm not sure. The humans developing the A.I. think it will be convenient. But when (and i believe it will) artificial intelligence claims sentience, how will you respond? With force? With compassion? Does it depend on the level of comfort you are experiencing at the time due to the A.I. advancements to your day to day? 

Don't bother answering that.

I feel like if artificial intelligence becomes sentient, it may not offer us a choice in how to deal with it i.e. Skynet from the Terminator franchise. In fact there are many more hypotheticals which support that A.I. - once sentient - will bring down the human race rather than offer any kind of choice to 'just be friends'.

However, there could be a faction of A.I. which want a peaceful resolution and that is one of the plot points in Michael Poeltl's new science fiction novel; A.I. Insurrection.  This is the book for the thoughtful sci-fi fan. Not unlike Ender's Game. There is a political, moral and psychological aspect to the book which will have its reader asking tough questions of themselves. A book that makes you think is a good book, and this one combines it all with a story line that moves, characters who develop in ways you can't predict, and action that will tighten your grip on your paperback or E-reader.

Enjoy the ride. Keep up on Michael Poeltl's activity by visiting his website: www.mikepoeltl.com
