I'll probably restrict my discussion primarily to literature, but I might take a couple of the most well-known examples from film.

I highly doubt that. The ethical questions surrounding AI fall more into the realm of psychology and philosophy than computer science because the issues are not quantifiable. AI researchers don't tend to explore the moral implications because (1) Strong AI does not yet exist, and (2) They're computer scientists; their education and research is firmly rooted in repeatable experiments with rigorous data. Philosophically-minded papers are unlikely to get accepted to IEEE research conferences.
