Considering the development of artificial intelligence (AI) in various fields, especially the closeness of its function to the human brain in terms of perception and the understanding of sensory and emotional concepts, it can be concluded that this concept is cognitively evolving toward an artificial mind (AM). This article introduces the concept of AM as a more accurate … [Read more...] about From artificial intelligence to artificial mind: A paradigm shift

Mitigating manipulation in generative AI
In an era where generative artificial intelligence (GAI) can compose symphonies and generate news articles with equal facility, the boundary between creation and manipulation becomes increasingly nebulous. This article discusses the fascinating and risky field of GAI and explores its potential to manipulate through deepfake videos and AI-generated text. Rather than presenting a … [Read more...] about Mitigating manipulation in generative AI
Understanding social conventions for socially aware robot navigation
Navigation is an essential skill for autonomous robots, and it becomes a cumbersome task in human-populated environments. Robots need to perform their tasks without disturbing the people around them. Robots navigating in a human-populated environment need to ensure people’s comfort and safety. For more about this article see link … [Read more...] about Understanding social conventions for socially aware robot navigation
Electrodermal activity: Fundamental principles, measurement, and application
Electrodermal activity (EDA) is a low-cost and nonintrusive way of monitoring the emotional state of a subject. It is also a viable gateway to study the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), which is responsible for the so-called fight-or-flight responses happening at the unconsciousness level (Boucsein, 2012). It is a frequently used modality in psychophysiology because of its … [Read more...] about Electrodermal activity: Fundamental principles, measurement, and application
Robot navigation in the social environment: Design challenges
As the number of robots is growing in our social environment, it is very important for them to understand and anticipate human behavior. One of the crucial skills for a robot is its navigation in the social environment. Several challenges are encountered when planning for the navigation of a robot in the presence of humans. It is very important for us to articulate these issues … [Read more...] about Robot navigation in the social environment: Design challenges
