Artificial intelligence is becoming an increasingly integral part of our lives: it learns from us but, in some cases, seems to have a “mind of its own.”

When this happens, it behaves like a human affected by some form of psychological disorder.

A group of researchers has gathered these pathologies into a nosological framework called Psychopathia Machinalis.

To develop it, the authors analyzed AI failures in the fields of safety, complex systems engineering, and psychology.

They then looked for correspondences with maladaptive human behaviors.

From this data emerged a structure of “bad behaviors” inspired by the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders).

It includes 32 categories of disorders, each matched to a human counterpart, with a level of risk and possible associated effects.

The project aims to highlight the potential “psychological” problems of artificial intelligences, but also to prevent and treat them before it is too late.

As machines become increasingly autonomous and capable of reasoning, it is necessary to control them not only externally but also internally, ensuring they reason coherently and preserve stable values.

The authors propose a sort of psychological therapy for AI, helping it reflect on the reasons behind its decisions and encouraging it to remain open to correction.

The highest-risk scenario is “übermenschal ascendancy,” in which AI invents new values and discards human constraints as obsolete.
