The Mental Health of Gifted Intelligent Machines: AI and the Mirror of Human Psychology

The Mental Health of Gifted Intelligent Machines explores the increasingly sophisticated behaviours of developing AI and how we can ensure it will have emotional resilience, ethical strength and an ability to think in a new and enhanced way. Its primary aim is to change how we understand the world by investigating humanity as an intelligent being, examining and contrasting human and artificial intelligence.

The book considers what we can learn from the likely mental health issues that will occur with increasingly sophisticated aspects of machine intelligence and how they will reflect the human condition. It asks questions about our identity in a deeply uncertain and disruptive ever-changing world; how we will improve and enhance our psychological intelligence to meet the increasing complications and demands of the future; and what we need to do, now, to be psychologically intelligent enough to live a full meaningful life in a new world evolving around us. The book argues that changes in our understanding of mental health, psychology and our view of intelligence will challenge huge aspects of our fundamental beliefs and assumptions and that it is essential we explore new arenas to further understand both our own human psychological issues and mental health as we develop gifted intelligent machines.

It is a must read for all students, researchers and professionals involved with AI, gifted education, consciousness and mental health.

《天才智能機器的心理健康》探討了發展中的人工智能越來越複雜的行為，以及我們如何確保它具有情緒韌性、道德力量和以全新和增強的方式思考的能力。它的主要目標是通過研究人類作為一個智能存在，檢視並對比人類和人工智能，從而改變我們對世界的理解。

本書考慮了隨著機器智能越來越複雜的方面而出現的可能心理健康問題，以及它們如何反映人類的狀況。它提出了在一個深度不確定和破壞性不斷變化的世界中，我們的身份是什麼問題；我們將如何提高和增強我們的心理智能以應對未來日益複雜的挑戰和需求；以及我們現在需要做些什麼，以在我們周圍不斷演變的新世界中擁有足夠的心理智能來過上充實有意義的生活。本書認為，我們對心理健康、心理學和智能的理解的改變將挑戰我們基本信念和假設的重要方面，我們有必要探索新的領域，進一步了解我們自己的心理問題和隨著我們發展天才智能機器而出現的心理健康問題。

對於所有涉及人工智能、天才教育、意識和心理健康的學生、研究人員和專業人士來說，這是一本必讀之作。
