Artificial Psychology is the study of the mental processes of an Artificial Intelligence System (AIS) similar to humans. It is about the artificial cognitive processes required for an artificially intelligent entity to be intelligent, learning, autonomous and self-developing. In psychology there are several specialties or focuses of study. Take for example cognitive psychology that studies how the brain thinks and works. In Artificial Psychology we look at what it means to have Artificial Intelligence Systems that resemble human intelligence.
Artificial Psychology is a theoretical discipline which was first proposed by Dan Curtis in 1963. The AIS must mimic human processes in order to be intelligent. This theory states that Artificial Intelligence will approach the complexity level of human intelligence when the artificially intelligent system meets three very important conditions: Condition 1: It makes all of its decisions autonomously. Condition 2: It is capable of reprogramming itself (evolving).
We believe that when all three conditions are met, then the possibility will exist that the artificially intelligent system will have the ability reach conclusions based on newly acquired and inferred information. At this point, we believe the criteria exist, such that the new field of Artificial Psychology needs to be put into place for such systems.
