We will distribute an anthology "Intelligence, Artificial and Human: Eight Science Fiction Tales by Japanese Authors" in Dublin, Worldcon Hal-con booth. This anthology is edited by the AI x SF Project (Updating Power of Imagination: Artificial Intelligence with Design Fiction). We selected and translated eight short stories, originally published in academic periodicals of the Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence. Through studies in multiple fields, our project aims to explore the various forms of interaction between AI and the imagination made possible only in science fiction. This anthology is one of our projects. With such imagination in our minds, we hope to update our ability to imagine society in the future. Below works is shown in this anthology.
