Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed scientific inquiry across disciplines, including the psychological sciences. In psychology, AI serves not only as an analytic tool but also as a computational model of the very processes the field seeks to explain. In this commentary, I highlight several ways in which AI can advance fundamental questions in psychological science beyond traditional approaches, thanks to its unprecedented ability to generate high-level perceptual and cognitive human-like representations. These developments provide psychologists with powerful new tools that, if embraced, can significantly advance our understanding of the human mind and behaviour.
