Possibility of Emotional Communication between Humans and Artificial Intelligence Perspective of Evaluating the Literary, Technological, Neuroscientific, and Evolutionary

Abstract

Many efforts have been given to predicting the future of human beings through literary works such as science fictions. New questions, which challenge the conventional philosophical and ethical concepts, are raised from these efforts. It has been found that engineers, neuroscientists, and evolutionary psychologists have shown different perspectives on the emotional communication between humans and AIs in literary works. Engineers explain that AI cannot precisely reproduce our emotions and respond to them accurately, although AI can study data and imitate humans, because emotions are psychological attributes that are produced through very complex brain processes causing behavioral and physiological responses. Furthermore, they indicate that it is difficult to create true emotions in the absence of morality that triggers shame, guilt, and compassion. Neuroscientists argue that emotions are not the results of the only brain processes, but they are the outcome of the interactions between the brain and the body and of the feedback from the environment to the body. Therefore, they claim that it would not be possible for AI to reproduce emotions in the way similar to human beings, unless we download the whole human body to AI. However, evolutionary psychologists argue that it is possible to reproduce all neuronal processes digitally in the computer in theory. They also believe that, as human beings are, in essence, a collection of biological algorithms evolved from non-organic matter to organic matter, a non-organic algorithm can reproduce anything that can be done by a human, an organic algorithm, and even exceed it. We can obtain more ethically advanced perspectives from these diverse and new viewpoints
