The portrayal of artificial intelligence (AI) in literature has evolved significantly, reflecting shifting societal anxieties and technological advancements. This study traces the representation of AI from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818), often considered the first work of science fiction, to contemporary narratives influenced by real-world AI developments, such as ChatGPT. By analyzing key literary works across different eras, this paper examines how AI has been depicted as both a source of innovation and a potential threat. The study also explores the ethical and philosophical questions raised by AI-driven characters, highlighting how literature anticipates and critiques real-world technological progress. Ultimately, this research underscores literature’s role in shaping and responding to AI’s growing influence on human life.
