Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, as viewed from the 1950s from David Foster's Substack. I kept meaning to put that on my sidebar and finally did it.
Given the recent advances of AI and robotics in our own era–and the positive and negative forecasts about the implications–I thought it might be interesting to go back and look at two short story collections on this general theme: Thinking Machines, edited by Groff Conklin, and The Robot and the Man, edited by Martin Greenberg. Both books date from around 1954. Here are some of the stories I thought were most interesting, mostly from the above sources but also a couple of them from other places.
Nice summaries of some classic early sci-fi stories on the subject
