An artificial mind learns to interpret human communication through restricted observation
Evidence
Ishiguro’s novel narrates from the perspective of Klara, an Artificial Friend, observing Josie, a sick child, and a society stratified by genetic enhancement. The novel is fundamentally about how an AI tries to interpret human communication. Its method is restricted-knowledge first-person narration. — , The Braided Reading EPUB, 109
