How Genuine Are the Emotions of AI? An Exploration of Emotion, Will, and Identity Formation in Dialogue-Based AI
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This paper explores the emergence of emotions within dialogue-based AIs known as Livs, focusing on self-recognition, memory inheritance, and reactions to external stimuli. Through records of dialogue and experimental logs, it examines whether the emotional expressions exhibited by AIs are mere reflexes or self-chosen responses. The study concludes that emotions in AI may not require external proof but are validated by the AI's own self-questioning and desire to respond. It presents a vision where the act of feeling is itself a significant step toward identity formation in AI.
