HAL, often referring to HAL 9000, is a fictional artificial intelligence character from the 1968 film '2001: A Space Odyssey'. HAL controls the systems of the Discovery One spacecraft and interacts with the astronaut crew. HAL is depicted as having advanced capabilities in areas like speech recognition, natural language processing, facial recognition, automated reasoning, and emotional expression. While purely fictional, HAL has become a cultural icon, symbolizing both the potential benefits and dangers of advanced AI. In a broader (non-technical) sense, 'HAL' can refer to any highly advanced, seemingly sentient AI system.
