ABSTRACT
The work at hand is part of the ongoing ARS (Artificial Recognition System) project [1]. The aim of ARS is to devise and implement a technical model of the human mind [2] according to psychoanalytic notions. In the present chapter, the scientific context and a brief overview of the scientific field and the ARS project in particular are given, followed by the methodology of how psychoanalytic notions can be transferred to be implemented in artificial intelligence. Furthermore, motivations for applying psychoanalytic knowledge in artificial intelligence are explained, and the scope of the present work is outlined. After that, the basic paradigms of the development process and implementation process applied in the work at hand are described. Six scientific statements that form the basic pillars for the work at hand are explained, and, finally, the process of interdisciplinary cooperation is outlined.
