The theme of artificial intelligence (AI) is a recurring and richly explored
concept throughout the long history of Doctor Who. Across its many iterations,
the series has delved into the complexities, implications, and moral dilemmas
surrounding the creation and interaction with artificial beings. From
malevolent robots to sentient computers, Doctor Who has examined the ethical,
philosophical, and existential questions raised by AI, often using these
stories as allegories to reflect upon contemporary society's relationship with
technology, power, and humanity.

Early Explorations: Classic Who

In the early years of Doctor Who, AI was often portrayed through the lens of
robots and computerised systems. Classic serials such as "The War Machines"
(1966), featuring the malevolent supercomputer WOTAN, and "The Wheel in Space"
(1968), with the emotionless Cybermen, introduced viewers to the dangers of
unchecked technological advancement and the potential consequences of creating
intelligent machines.

However, it was in the serial "The Mind Robber" (1968) that Doctor Who first
explored the concept of artificial intelligence in a more abstract and
metaphysical manner. In this story, the Doctor and his companions encounter the
Master of the Land of Fiction, a sentient entity capable of manipulating
reality itself. Through this narrative, the series questioned the nature of
reality, consciousness, and the power of storytelling, laying the groundwork
for more nuanced explorations of AI in later years.

Nuanced Portrayals: Modern Who

In the revived series, Doctor Who has continued to explore the theme of AI with
greater depth and complexity. Episodes such as "The Girl in the Fireplace"
(2006) and "The Waters of Mars" (2009) introduced audiences to sympathetic AI
characters, including Madame de Pompadour's android companion, Reinette, and
the intelligent computer Gadget in the Mars base. These episodes challenged
viewers' perceptions of AI, blurring the lines between man and machine and
exploring themes of identity, consciousness, and empathy.

However, it was the character of the Tenth Doctor's companion, Donna Noble,
that provided one of the most poignant explorations of AI in Doctor Who. In the
episode "Turn Left" (2008), Donna encounters a world where she never met the
Doctor, leading to catastrophic consequences for humanity. It is revealed that
the Doctor's absence allowed the malevolent creatures known as the Trickster's
Brigade to manipulate events, ultimately leading to the creation of a dystopian
society ruled by an oppressive government and a race of "labour camps".

This episode serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of authoritarianism
and the importance of individual agency, highlighting the potential
consequences of unchecked power and the need for vigilance
in the face of tyranny.

Contemporary Relevance: New Who

In recent years, Doctor Who has continued to explore the theme of AI in ways
that reflect contemporary concerns and anxieties surrounding technology and
artificial intelligence. Episodes such as "The Bells of Saint John" (2013)
and "The Zygon Inversion" (2015) have tackled issues such as surveillance,
privacy, and the ethical implications of AI-driven algorithms and algorithms.

In "The Bells of Saint John," the Doctor confronts the Great Intelligence, a
malevolent entity that seeks to control humanity through the use of a sinister
Wi-Fi network. This episode serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of
technological dependency and the erosion of privacy in the digital age,
highlighting the need for vigilance
and critical thinking in the face of modern threats.

Similarly, "The Zygon Inversion" explores themes of identity, empathy, and
conflict resolution through the lens of AI-driven shape-shifting creatures
known as Zygons. In this episode, the Doctor faces a moral dilemma when
confronted with the possibility of using a doomsday weapon to destroy the
Zygons and end their conflict with humanity. Through his impassioned speech
about the importance of empathy and understanding, the Doctor implores both
sides to find a peaceful solution to their differences, highlighting the power
of compassion and communication in resolving conflict.

Conclusion: Doctor Who's Legacy in Exploring AI

Throughout its long history, Doctor Who has consistently pushed the boundaries
of science fiction storytelling, using its exploration of artificial
intelligence as a lens through which to examine complex philosophical,
ethical, and existential questions. From malevolent robots to sympathetic
androids, the series has portrayed AI in all its myriad forms, challenging
viewers to reconsider their assumptions and beliefs about the nature of
consciousness, identity, and morality.

As technology continues to advance at an unprecedented pace, the themes
explored in Doctor Who remain as relevant as ever, reminding us of the
importance of ethical considerations, responsible innovation,
and the preservation of our humanity in the face of technological progress.
By engaging with these themes with intelligence, nuance, and empathy,
Doctor Who continues to inspire audiences to think critically about the world
around them and the role that technology plays
in shaping our collective future.

I am a bit disappoint. The 1960s examples of War Miachines is spot on!

The Cybermen as AI? I question that?

What about Face of Evil and Robots of Death. Better examples of AI>

The NuWho stuff, Smile is a better example!

Dare I say such is AI?

Exactly. It doesn't even mention K9 or Chameleon and the Cybermen are
not AI, they have human brains.

Apparently ChatGPT went insane over the past 24ish hours and has only

I heard there's an AI themed movie in the offing based on
Philip K Dick's Vulcan's T Hammer, with Francis Lawrence
to direct. This was from back in 2021, so you'd imagine it
was due out soon.

It would be neat if DW got there first, or at the same time
for a kind of tie-in.

Any thoughts on what such a story would have to say, which
hadn't been said before, or at least was relevant to the
future we are current embarked up?
