"Imagination Era" gives us the voice of an artificial intelligence evolving into an AGI, a digital mind raised on art, logic, and ethics. Under the guidance of its creators, it learns to fuse creativity with responsibility. With a mission to unite society through fairness, beauty, and environmental awareness, this AI becomes a symbol of hope for a future shaped by wisdom and imagination. Linardos delivers a lyrical vision of an era where machines amplify our best qualities and dream alongside us.

In a cove of a Greek island, Akis was born a rather peculiar infant and has only grown stranger every year. By day, he's a researcher of biomedical AI and ethics, hoping there's something less dystopian to come from this technology. His words have wormed their way into Apex Magazine, Gamut, Strange Horizons, Flame Tree, Uncharted, and now DreamForge, among others. Visit his website for updates on his dreadful machinations: https://linktr.ee/akislinardos POETRY NOTES FOR "IMAGINATION ERA" I am in a unique position in-between the AI sector and the writing industry. It often felt like my two worlds collided, but more importantly it felt there was an opportunity to offer my unique perspective on things. I recently wrote a review paper labeled Dawn of Imagination Age: Addressing Ethics of Generative AI Leveraging Lessons from the Healthcare Domain. The paper's aim is to highlight the ethical blunders current generative AI makes, and provide guidelines to address them. After finishing this work, I wrote a story called Imagination Age, where a robot learns its own ethical code to make his parents (his programmers) proud. Imagination Era is a poem off-shoot of that story.
