Usually, a reward mechanism and promises of a “generous reward” would make people more efficient and spur them on to reach a target. However, the R&D team that created Lu Jia’er was like a ghost. She sensed that the ghost was always around her. However, she could not see, nor touch it. As time moved on, it was natural if the fear of the ghost would deepen.

Currently, that was exactly how Lu Jia’er was feeling. She was in a state of constant dread over how she could not control her own life and that others would be harmed because of her.

Having finished her call with Jin Xiangdong, Lu Jia’er stepped toward the lab slowly. That idea that cropped up in her mind was giving her more complicated thoughts.

Before she had reached the lab, she could already hear some happy voices coming from inside.

“Alas, your lab is so spacious. You have such nice equipment. The robots are so adorable. I want to change my mentor and come to study with Professor Lu!”

“Be careful. If your Professor Li hears about that, she will fail your course!”

“I am so jealous of you!!!”

“We graciously accept your jealousy.”

Lu Jia’er went in. Apart from the students of hers, she saw two of Professor Li Lin’s students.

“Professor Lu, hi!” Everyone greeted her.

Lu Jia’er nodded and looked around. Their lab was indeed more spacious than the others. The facilities and equipment were brand new. Besides, the two robots were rather popular.

“Professor Lu, excuse us. We will leave now!” Li Lin’s students knew how to behave in this delicate situation.

Lu Jia’er put down her bag and books. She dived into the research project with her students. The focus of the subject was the combination of AI and psychology. Artificial Intelligence was considered a type of technology and a tool that could come in handy for many fields, such as psychology, where some of the development achievements could be applied. Some of the simulation algorithms and theories in AI could help set up a test environment and serve as an analytical tool for psychology.

To study Artificial Intelligence from the perspective of psychology could create a a solid theoretical foundation for the development of AI with a focus on the theories and information related to reasoning, experimental psychology, behaviorism, and cognitive science.

Generally speaking, research projects could be boring. But Lu Jia’er used a different approach. She asked her students to talk freely and to their heart’s content about their ideas and expectations that they had regarding AI. Her students graciously spelled out their views. The focus of their discussion was that the combination of AI and psychology could help patients with more direct, convenient and private consultation as well as treatment.

Though Lu Jia’er was young and she would have similar thoughts as her students who were younger, sparkles of fresh ideas were generated nonetheless.

“Professor Lu, the ultimate state of combining AI and psychology, as I see it, is something like a CT scan. With a CT scan, you can tell the symptoms of a patient to suit the remedy to the case. In the future, AI can capture the micro-expressions, micro-movements and micro reactions to understand the patient’s thoughts through scanning!” A girl shared her ideas.

Lu Jia’er nodded to this idea. “Anything else?”

“Professor Lu, I think in the future AI can help us hear the inner voice of other people! In other words, mind-reading!” A boy with glasses remarked.

Lu Jia’er was taken aback. “Mind reading?”
