<Abstract>

This paper examines the history of artificial intelligence in three ways. We often refer to artificial intelligence as an object without any distinctions. However, there are different aspects of artificial intelligence: AI as a product of technology by scientific development, AI as a so-called cultural commodity which is handled in specifically Hollywood movies, and AI as a product of myth and novel imagination. I assume that artificial intelligence as a practical tool or scientific fact in a realistic world is a relatively recent product, but AI has always existed around us in a variety of forms. There is a history as an narrative that has been more influential than tools or scientific facts. In some ways, the history of artificial intelligence is a process that has realized narrative fiction or mythical fiction as scientific facts. In addition, artificial intelligence is showing a presence enough to form an industry even in movies as an art that is most closely related to technology in recent years. This paper will briefly examine this process, point out the human-centered thinking assigned to it, and explore the desirable attitude or ethical attitude toward artificial intelligence by quoting Heidegger's "broken tool" concept.
