Principles of Synthetic Intelligence: Psi: An Architecture of Motivated Cognition (Oxford Series on Cognitive Models and Architectures)

Description

This rigorous and wide-ranging work presents Psi, a computational architecture for modeling motivated cognition—the way goals, needs, emotions, and perceptions shape intelligent behavior. Drawing on cognitive science, psychology, artificial intelligence, and philosophy, it explains how autonomous agents can organize knowledge, regulate attention, form intentions, and adapt to changing environments. The book explores the mechanisms underlying concepts such as emotion, motivation, consciousness, and self-directed action, offering a unified framework for understanding intelligence as an embodied, goal-oriented process. Both a technical contribution to cognitive architecture research and a provocative vision for synthetic intelligence, it will interest researchers and advanced readers seeking formal models of human-like cognition.
