Towards Positive Artificial Intelligence

Positive Psychology has been developed as a complement to traditional Psychology to cater for positive components of personality which can lead to sustainable satisfaction, happiness and well being. Positive Technologies have been developed to build technological tools to support Positive Psychology. Artificial Intelligence research has focused on the development of artefacts to relieve humans from undesired tasks, with lesser focus on artefacts to promote positive components towards well being and happiness. In this article, the concept of Positive Artificial Intelligence is proposed as a counterpart in Artificial Intelligence to the role Positive Psychology has played in Psychology.
