Chapter 22 – The Psychology of Artificial Intelligence<\/h1>\n\n\n

Artificial intelligence (AI) plays an important, yet often invisible, role in our online lives. Interactions such as searches, online recommendations, and gaming are often based on AI. The role of Non-Player Characters (NPCs) in gaming is a clear example \u2013 the realism of these characters and their responses to player actions can have a significant impact on the perceived quality of a game. The rise in the quality of \u201cchatbots\u201d (interactive communicative agents), and their use in customer\/user interfaces on websites is an interesting development, as is the inclusion of such chatbots as interaction devices on smartphones and mobile devices. The potential use of artificially intelligent robots as companion devices is explored, and the observed effects on specific populations are examined. The potential future role of artificial intelligence in human life is considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
