"The Laundry Files" is one of Charles Stross's (the author of this article) fun series, although it's more a kind of urban (bureaucratic) fantasy than sci-fi.

I'm surprised he doesn't touch on AI at all in this article. To me, AI companies heavily depend on the implications that the "AI" moniker (as well as "learning", "neural network," etc.) carries from many years of human-like reasoning machines appearing in science fiction, and I think there would be much less momentum if they were called something else.
