Abstract:

The first use of the phrase “Artificial Intelligence” in 1956 is attributed to John McCarthy of the University of Massachusetts. It is a fairly new field which involves programming computers to play games, comprehend and respond to natural language, reproduce neural networks like those of humans and exhibit sensitivity (Hear, see, move, and react to the environment) like humans (this branch is termed robotics). First, we must define Artificial Intelligence. A number of proposed definitions would be considered here, and the factors which influence the understanding the people thoughts and emotions that affect their own behavior, how to apply artificial intelligence in development of theory of mind. In this paper, we conclude that integrating theory of mind into artificial intelligence through linguistic, visual, and emotional cues to increase the accuracy of understanding others' mental states may be a key trend in integrating theory of mind with artificial intelligence, in addition to developing systems capable of explaining their reasoning and prediction mechanisms to users to enhance trust. The research recommends the establishment of strict legal and ethical frameworks to ensure that the ability to read intentions or emotions is not misused.
