Abstract: In this paper, we propose the concept of artificial personality (AP) and its mechanism, as a computer system in which users can feel human touch, or humanness. As computer performance improved in recent years, the capabilities of artificial intelligences (AIs) as well as the societal need for them grew, making AI the focus of public attention in every field. While current AIs are sophisticated, they are either categorised as industrial Narrow AI with limited uses or Toy AI intended for entertainment purposes. They are not general-purpose, versatile AIs with human touch, which can readily become a part of human life. There are a number of problems and challenges that need to be solved to realise versatile AI. One of them is an argument that questions whether the concept of AI or its method is appropriate for incorporating humanness in computer systems. Therefore, we discuss in this paper a method of reproducing humanness in computer systems based on the concept of AP rather than on that of current AI. We particularly focus on the idea of human and computer collaborating to form AP, and design a system according to the concept of eXtended Intelligence (XI).

Keywords: artificial intelligence; artificial personality; AP; eXtended intelligence; XI; artificial life; Chatbot; intelligent system; structure of personality data; date science.
