Tons of science fiction stories have shown artificial intelligence turning against us -- but Person of Interest has broken new ground in showing an A.I. takeover that most people don't even know is happening. Creators Jonathan Nolan and Greg Plageman tell io9 why their show's take on A.I. revolt is subtler than Skynet. Tonight's episode of Person of Interest is one of the most political the show has ever done, and it's also an intense, edge-of-your-seat thriller, in which we start to see the ambitions of Samaritan, the amoral artificial intelligence that came into being at the end of last season. As Nolan puts it, tonight we'll see "the connective tissue between Samaritan and the West Wing." We'll also see the way that the information that Samaritan offers is acted upon now by Control and her operatives.
