I love cyberpunk. Essential ingredients are:
- hostile AI
- Corporations and Government surveilance and going dark
- DNA / implant chips / biometric border controls
- Borders protected by armed drones / robots
- Underground Identities markets

AIs are either of the "weak" kind, like a robot guard being able to recognize and attack intruders but not much more, or the indistinguishable-from-human kind of Blade Runner replicants. The intelligent but definitely not human kind like HAL from 2001. The kind I tend to think of when talking about AI-based stories don't seem to be that common in the cyberpunk genre.
We do see a lot of things like mind uploading, brain augmentation, people losing their humanity to technology, etc... but it is always centered on the human mind.
