In the article Nanopsychology II. An updated frame of reference published in Biotechnology & Nanotechnology in an Instant (13/08/22) we said “[.... we can try to offer an updated frame of reference for a future nanopsychology, presenting it as the science destined to study, externally to the individual, the impact of nanotechnological products on his psychic life and, internally, to help the understanding and modification of behaviors through a non-surgical bidirectional computer communication from and to the brain, eliminating the language interface, and also making possible the construction of different neuronal structures to incorporate new knowledge directly into the brain without going through another interface: the teaching-learning processes”.
In the article Virtual man & Robotic man. Both immortals published in Biotechnology & Nanotechnology in an Instant (14/05/23) reflected on “[...] the possibility of making a brain almost similar to the human brain from the surprising advances in nanotechnology: neuromorphic nanochips, menristors, nanorobots and reconfigurable nanochips; closing a virtuous circle for the passage from the software-mind of the human to an artificial brain located in a robot”.
Software-mind refers to advanced software capable of emulating the cognitive, emotional and decision-making capabilities of a human being. This software could be a highly advanced artificial intelligence (AI) model that replicates functions of the human mind such as memory, reasoning, learning, emotions, creativity and self-awareness.
The human species, as we know it, is severely threatened by forest fires, prolonged droughts, global pandemics, nuclear accidents-atomic disasters, floods-sea level rise, wars-geopolitical conflicts, biodiversity loss-ecosystem collapse, environmental pollution, global warming-climate change, and technological and cybernetic disasters. Faced with the possibility of an existential crisis of humanity's survival, the immortal robotic human emerges as the only option. It does not require for its subsistence neither water, nor oxygen, nor food, it only needs solar batteries and / or a power supply with pills based on nuclear energy. This is a step towards the foreseen technological singularity.
The above conditions us to the application of nanopsychology in a robot to which the software-mind of a human brain has been transferred by means of bidirectional wireless communication. Some aspects to consider in the intersection between nanotechnology and psychology in the robot:
Nanopsychology and cognitive models: Nanopsychology, being based on principles of nanotechnology applied to the study of mind and behavior, would provide tools to create accurate cognitive models within the robot's artificial brain. Through the integration of nanoscale neural networks, human cognitive processes such as learning, memory, decision making, and perception could be replicated.
Brain-machine interface at the nano level: A bidirectional brain-machine interface operating at the nano level would enable extremely fast and accurate data transfer. This two-way communication would mean that both the robot and the human brain could exchange information in real time, allowing constant adjustments and synchronizations. On a psychological level, this would mean that the sensory, emotional and cognitive experiences of the robot could be closely aligned with those of the human whose software was transferred.
Based on the above, nanopsychology applied in this context would be crucial to understand, design, and manage the psychological aspects of a robot that houses a digitized human brain. This discipline would help to develop an artificial intelligence that not only mimics, but also evolves according to human characteristics. This leads us to complete the outline presented in the article Nanopsychology II. An updated frame of reference by adding, as shown in the figure, to what was pointed out for the mortal cellular human the nanopsychological aspects inherent to the mortal robotic human.
The nanopsychology of an autonomous robot to which human mind software has been implemented represents a fascinating field of research that brings together advanced artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, and psychology. This approach offers incredible potential for applications in multiple domains, from healthcare to space exploration, but it also raises ethical, philosophical, and technical challenges that must be approached with care. The fundamental difference lies in the simulated nature of the robot's cognition and emotional experience, in contrast to the subjective, biological experience of the human brain.
