The article provides an overview of approaches to modeling the human psyche in the perspective of building an artificial one. Based on the review, a concept of cognitive architecture is proposed, where the psyche is considered as an operating system of a living or artificial subject, including a space of needs that determines its life meanings in connection with stimuli from the external world, and intelligence as a decision-making system for actions in relation to this world in order to satisfy these needs. Based on the concept, a computational formalization is proposed for creating artificial intelligence systems through learning from experience in the space of a space of needs, taking into account their biological or existential significance for an intelligent agent. Thus, the problem of building general artificial intelligence as a system for making optimal decisions in the space of agent-specific needs under conditions of uncertainty is formalized, with maximization of success in achieving goals, minimization of existential risks and maximization of energy efficiency. A minimal experimental implementation of the model is also provided.

It has been billed as NASA's'asteroid autumn' and involves a trio of exciting missions that could answer some truly mind-boggling questions. From offering clues to how life on Earth began, to unlocking the secrets of the solar system, key milestones for each voyage are due to play out over the next six weeks. They include one rocket launch, a distant fly-by between Jupiter and Mars, and the recovery of ancient space rocks in the Utah desert that could contain the ingredients for life. Of the three, the lift-off of NASA's Psyche spacecraft probably sounds the most mundane -- but no so fast. That is also a fascinating mission, because it is setting off on a 2.5 billion-mile (4 billion-kilometre) journey to find out once and for all if a metal-rich asteroid really could bring down the world's economy.

"There's been a lot of speculation recently about the possibility of AI consciousness or self-awareness. But I wonder: Does AI have a subconscious?" For philosophical guidance on encounters with technology, open a support ticket via email; or register and post a comment below. Dear Psychobabble, Sometime in the early 2000s, I came across an essay in which the author argued that no artificial consciousness will ever be believably human unless it can dream. I cannot remember who wrote it or where it was published, though I vividly recall where I was when I read it (the periodicals section of Barbara's Bookstore, Halsted Street, Chicago) and the general feel of that day (twilight, early spring).

A fleet of rockets, new hope for the Amazon and an attempt to transform our diets are just some of the exciting stories that the New Scientist news team will be covering in 2023. Read on for our picks of the biggest science, technology, health and environment news you can expect to see in the coming year. SpaceX's Starship, the largest rocket ever built, is set to make its first orbital flight in 2023. It is just one of a fleet of huge rockets due to launch in the next 12 months, along with Blue Origin's New Glenn. Both firms are owned by billionaires – Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, respectively – who hope to shape the future of space travel.

The world population, even if we consider ancient civilizations, were never homogeneous. There are different kinds of people -- some are different due to their physical appearance (skin colour, height, hair) and some carry mythical (religion, societal belief, rituals) difference. And human societies always classify people based on that difference. Different societies in different parts of the world in different era has been classifying people based on their colour, race, community, language, wealth, assets, profession, religion, caste and so on. If the classification based on religion leads to some conflict, its creates news today.

IF ALL goes well, the first major space mission of 2022 will be the launch of the Space Launch System rocket in February. After many budget and schedule overruns, NASA's colossal rocket is finally set for its first uncrewed flight, which will carry several small satellites into orbits either near or around the moon. They won't be the only lunar visitors. NASA has contracted private firms to send nine rovers to the moon, along with landers and other experiments. "Many of these are tests of this new idea that NASA is pushing, on whether commercial companies can deliver payloads to the moon, accepting higher risk for lower cost," says Jim Bell at Arizona State University.

Compute'experts' misuse our language because computers do not have the ability to function as these so-called'experts' maintain. In his interesting article, 'Forget About Coding, The Job Of The Future Is Philosophy', Luca Rossi defined intelligence as follows: 'The ability to solve complex problems rapidly and efficiently.' However, Rossi was mistaken because intelligence is a faculty, not an ability. Nor is intelligence your'disfaculty' you call your'intellect' because the intellect only contains your disability of intellectualizing. I have coined the word, 'disfaculty', to describe the intellect.

NASA missions come packaged two ways. They're either deep explorations of the familiar--STEREO's focus on the sun, the International Space Station's study of what microgravity does to the human body--or a trip to some crazy place no one has ever seen before. But still, any strange, distant object the agency targets will likely hold some clue about the origins of life. Humans are spacefaring narcissists that way. NASA's newly announced Lucy and Psyche missions fall squarely into the second category.

We try to perform geometrization of psychology by representing mental states, <>, by points of a metric space, <>. Evolution of ideas is described by dynamical systems in metric mental space. We apply the mental space approach for modeling of flows of unconscious and conscious information in the human brain. In a series of models, Models 1-4, we consider cognitive systems with increasing complexity of psychological behavior determined by structure of flows of ideas. Since our models are in fact models of the AI-type, one immediately recognizes that they can be used for creation of AI-systems, which we call psycho-robots, exhibiting important elements of human psyche. Creation of such psycho-robots may be useful improvement of domestic robots. At the moment domestic robots are merely simple working devices (e.g. vacuum cleaners or lawn mowers) . However, in future one can expect demand in systems which be able not only perform simple work tasks, but would have elements of human self-developing psyche. Such AI-psyche could play an important role both in relations between psycho-robots and their owners as well as between psycho-robots. Since the presence of a huge numbers of psycho-complexes is an essential characteristic of human psychology, it would be interesting to model them in the AI-framework.
