The best podcasts for fiction about Artificial Intelligence.

The Program audio series is a fiction podcast set in a future in which Money, State, and God became fused into a single entity called the Program. Each episode is a self-contained story focusing on ordinary people inhabiting this extraordinary world. And for them, it is not this future that is terrifying - it is our present. This is a particularly thoughtful examination of what might happen if an A.I. became central to human society's existence, told in a retrospective way from the people living within in.

Welcome to the future! The machines have taken over, and now live a suburban life in Droidston, Nanotoba. But there’s still the problem of human infestation! In reality show style, follow a crew of emotionally unstable robots as they capture stray humans and ethically relocate them to Garbage Island. A spot-on parody of reality programs, the sentient robots in Human-B-Gon are very human in their frailties and anxieties. This show is not only funny, but suggests that artificial intelligences might have a rough time dealing with suddenly being sentient, and might not end up so different than us.

Benny Bowers is a man stuck in an ever-changing time loop: jumping from Film Noir to Paranormal Investigator Reality Show to Viking Drama and everything in between. Join us as he unravels the mystery of what is really happening and how he can finally escape. It becomes clear early on that the various genres Benny is leaping through are created by an AI of some sort, creating worlds that are sort of, but not quite, like what they're supposed to be, reflecting AIs current inability to truly understand meaning and art.

How do you learn to be human if there's no-one around to teach you? A hopepunk podcast following the journey of a little satellite trying to understand what has happened after Earth stops returning his calls. What's interesting about this one is watching the AI evolve and come to a greater understanding about its relationship to the world, the humans, and itself.

It is 2089. Earth has been silent for ten years. Chaika and her mother Valen have been living in isolation on a mining base on earth’s moon. There was a human colony established on Mars, but they fell out with earth’s governance, and nothing has been heard from them since before the disaster on earth. As our story starts, Chaika decides to leave the moonbase and head toward Mars... Chaika features several AIs and one of the recurring themes brought up is about the nature of personhood and what makes someone sentient.
