Not the ones where the AI is a main character. Like, all the ones operating quietly in the background. Like the computers from Star Trek.

Maybe those stories never make it to the cinema but any time I see AI in a movie the humans do not come out on top.

Utopian science fiction is less popular, but look at Star Trek for example. Commander Data in The Next Generation and the EMH in Voyager provide invaluable help to the crews they work with. Or look at the robot in Interstellar for another example for a possibly portrayal of AI in a mostly dystopian setting. Even the droids in Star Wars would be impossible without very advanced AI (even if that fact isn’t discussed in universe), and a great many droids are shown as being critical to the success of ventures they take part in.

I’ll give you Star Trek but that’s also a stretch because Earth essentially becomes a communist society, or at least a society that’s no longer driven by wealth. Right now that seems more far-fetched than a self-aware digital lifeform.
