Star Trek AI Artificial Intelligence USS Enterprise Computer VS Android Data

AI Concerns Us All Today But Can Be Confusing. In Star Trek Technology, Two Things Can Make It Easier To Understand

Star Trek deals liberally in AI Artificial Intelligence. What was once science fiction is now science reality. The Gene Roddenberry created science fiction universe has portrayed how future humanity would deal, work and interact with advanced computer born intelligence. It’s a fun, mental exercise and dramatic simulation so that the sci-fi epic puts a spotlight of clarity in the real world.

In Star Trek: The Next Generation, we meet Data - an advanced android whose artificial intelligence matches or even exceeds human beings. Data is proven to be sentient in the TNG episode, 'Measure Of A Man' - but sentience is a different value from intelligence. What's the level of AI comparing Captain Picard's Enterprise Science Officer to a vast, super advanced Starship computer?

Let's discuss how we view these sci-fi concepts and how more and more they are becoming so important in our own real world.
