As we have seen in the previous articles, the first 2 types of AI are already in implementation. Theory of mind is the third type of AI and the next level of AI systems which is in the innovation stage. This type of AI interacts with the thoughts and emotions of humans. This AI basically will focus on individuals whose minds can be shaped by multiple factors, like understanding humans. Theory of mind AI will have a better understanding of the entities they interact with, by understanding their needs, thought processes, emotions and beliefs. ‘Understanding ‘is the main concept related to the Theory of Mind. It may deal with various aspects like behaviour, emotions, human nature and feelings and much more. This is considered as one of the critical technological developments that sort peoples emotions, sentiments and thoughts.

The researchers are trying to make machines that can understand humans better and learn from various factors that influence their thinking process. We can see an emotionally intelligent robot interacting with humans, to give a real conversation feeling. This is the focus of the Theory of Mind AI. This will make the machines capable to make decisions similar to humans. The will have a huge impact and study on the human behaviour to develop the accurate machine as per human moods.
