Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly developing, particularly human-interacting and affective AI systems. Psychodynamic concepts important to human development should be considered in the development of AI systems.
Conclusion
The development of safe and ethical affective artificial intelligence that remains meaningful and flexible should incorporate psychodynamic concepts. Mental health professionals such as psychiatrists and psychotherapists should be involved in the development of AI to provide expert knowledge in the area of psychodynamics.
