About this journal

Aims and scope

Journal of Psychology and AI aims to bridge the understanding between artificial intelligence (AI) technology and its implications, applications, and interactions within psychological realms. The journal seeks to promote interdisciplinary research, fostering dialogue between technologists developing AI systems and psychologists exploring human behavior, cognitions, and emotions. The scope of the journal includes research from all types of psychological inquiry as well as allied disciplines.
In addition to publishing reports on direct human interaction with AI technology, the journal seeks submissions of research on how AI has wide-reaching influences on the way in which humans interact with and think about the world. Due to the rapid advances in AI technology, the scope of the journal also includes work about robots being embodied forms of AI. For that reason, this journal also covers topics about social robotics, human-robot interaction, robotics in education, and everything that can be included under robopsychology, defined as the psychology of, for, and by robots, robotics, and AI.

The journal publishes both empirical as well as conceptual contributions. Submissions needs to be aligned with the standards for conducting and reporting work in psychology. As psychology is a broad discipline, the journal is interested in submissions from social science perspectives at one end, as well as neuroscience at the other end of the spectrum, thus being open to the full range of approaches and methods. Work on relevant psychological models and theory is encouraged through opportunities to publish original conceptual papers as well as commentaries about specific articles and issues. Through acknowledgement of the likely profound impact of AI on the world, psychological work also needs to engage with philosophical thought such as discussions on ethics and how AI technology might affect epistemology for psychological research. Lastly, Journal of Psychology and AI encourages the advancement of robust research practices in the field through article contributions about methods and data analysis.

The following examples illustrate the range of topics relevant to Journal of Psychology and AI:
1. Acceptability of AI: Exploring attitudes toward AI in the general public and/or specific populations.
2. Interplay between AI and cognitive processes: Exploring how AI can be used to model, understand, and augment human cognition.
3. AI in psychological assessment: The use and implications of AI in diagnosing, predicting, and understanding psychological disorders.
4. Human-AI interaction: Investigating the psychological aspects of human interactions with AI systems, including trust, reliance, and emotional connections.
5. Ethical implications: Addressing the ethical challenges and considerations when AI intersects with psychological practices and research.
6. AI in therapeutic interventions: The use of AI in interventions, including chatbots, virtual reality therapy, and other digital therapeutics.
7. Behavioral analytics: Harnessing AI to analyze and predict human behavior across various domains.
8. Neuropsychological insights from AI: Drawing parallels and learning from the working of AI algorithms in understanding the human brain.
9. AI, society, and psychological well-being: Exploring the societal implications of widespread AI and its effects on mental health, social behaviors, and well-being.
10. Emotional AI: Systems that recognize, interpret, process, and simulate human emotions.
11. Education and training: Preparing psychologists for an AI-augmented future and AI professionals for ethically handling psychological data.

This may include the investigation of relevant attitudes and beliefs and even exploring how human behavior is indirectly altered as a result of how the environment is re-shaped through the increased pervasiveness of AI.
