The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) provides creative materials and scientific evidences for science fiction creation, while science fiction creation provides AI research with future imaginations and developing possibilities. Such separating and interacting relationship forms rich spiritual and sensory experiences. The fundamental reason for these experiences is that AI (which takes data and algorithms as its core technology) has gradually broken through the ethics of anthropocentrism under the guidance of symbolism, connectionism, and behaviorism. This change of anthropocentric ethics may lead to the loss of human control on machines, or even the destruction of humankind. To avoid this predicament, we need to build a new ethic in which human and artificial intelligence could coexist, namely, a quasi-partnership between humans and artificial intelligence based on anthropocentrism.
