Macmind: The Creation of a Robot's Psyche

By Mariano Gallo

Advanced robots are being created and modified at lightning speed through advancements in artificial intelligence. These technological wonders - referred to as smart machines throughout this book -are already far beyond what was anticipated or imagined. The possibilities are dazzling, intoxicating, and tantalizing. With untiring energy, robots could potentially protect the earth and its inhabitants, while solving many of the world's enigmatic problems. In addition to making life easier and safer, smart machines may be able to save countless lives. But who and what would control these creations? Could robotics and related technologies run amuck? Would they be friend or foe? Dangers could perhaps lurk around every corner. The journey into tomorrow must include a commitment to understand all aspects of these advanced robots and their possible development of a psyche with independent intellectual and unique personalities. The conceptual framework for the workings of the human mind outlined in Clearmind: The Disentanglement of the Psyche (2023), allow Macmind to offer a perspective for comprehending the potential expansion and evolution of smart machines' minds, including emotional maturation, the ability to adjust and adapt, and awareness of their own existence. With time and care given to a psychological understanding of the potential qualities and characteristics of these continually evolving technological creations, we can hope to affect the unfolding of what lies ahead and their impact on humanity.
