The interplay between artificial intelligence and psychology offers new and exciting opportunities to understand and analyze human behavior and psychological processes. AI enables us to process datasets on a new scale, decipher data structures, and thus push the boundaries of traditional psychological approaches. Psychological research that applies AI thus promises new, even deeper insights into the workings of human experience and behavior.
In the research area AI & Psychology at the University of Münster, we are addressing this issue in numerous international research projects, third-party funded projects, and publications.
