Abstract
Science fiction (SF) is pivotal in shaping the readers' attitudes towards the future. Still, the main objective of a science fiction novel or film is not to predict the future or to assess any technological advancement. SF, mainly, teaches us what it means to be humane in a changing world of citizenship cum globalization. To convey this message, novelists and movie makers portray artificial intelligence (AI) as an autonomous or human-like character to ponder the condition of humans in flux and the social, economic, and political issues regarding technological advancement. Through the perspective of Klara, the robot protagonist, we explore artificial intelligence and consciousness, the posthuman situation of humanity, the future of utopia, humanity's changing ideologies, and the human-machine relationship or human-nonhuman relationship. The way AI enacts humans is debatable as AI introspection reflects new capacities for human potential and mirrors the limits of humanity (i.e., the creature is defined and associated with its creator).

Addressing Emotions within E-Learning Systems
Affective computing is a research field that aims at including emotions within information technology design. It deals specifically with three different levels of emotion integration: (1) the detection of user emotions, (2) the expression of emotions by computers, and ultimately, (3) the possibility for a computer to “have” emotions.
