САЖЕТАК / ABSTRACT:

U ovom radu analizira se lik umjetne inteligencije kao fikcijski lik na primjeru romana Klara i Sunce Kazua Ishigura. Na temelju kritičkog pregleda postojećih teorijskih pristupa razvija se integrirani analitički okvir u četiri razine: karakterizacija se promatra kroz prizmu antropomorfizacije, agencija kroz narativnu subjektivnost, a intencionalnost kroz etiku i moralnost, uz završnu sintezu arhetipskih funkcija i postojećih kulturnih imaginarija umjetne inteligencije. Analiza pokazuje da je Klara trajno ambivalentan lik, istodobno humaniziran i instrumentaliziran, niske djelatne agencije, ali visoke narativne subjektivnosti, čija je moralnost ponajprije relacijski i čitateljski konstruirana. Time se pokazuje kako roman sudjeluje u preoblikovanju postojećih arhetipova jer fokus premješta s tehnologije na etičku odgovornost i ljudske odnose. Klara i Sunce tako se upisuje u ciklički odnos fikcije i stvarnosti, u kojem književni imaginariji umjetne inteligencije ne samo da odražavaju tehnološke promjene nego ih i suoblikuju.
