What can AI learn from psychology?

This white paper introduces PIMEX (Psychological Integrative Model of Existential Patterns) as a semantic architecture for enhancing AI’s capacity to interpret, rather than merely simulate, the human psyche. Rooted in narrative, existential, and psychodynamic theory, PIMEX transcends traditional psychometric models by mapping patterns of identity through symbolic, behavioral, and cognitive markers. The document outlines the theoretical foundation of PIMEX, its applicability in AI alignment and human-centered modeling, and explores its potential for developing emotionally aware and psychologically adaptive artificial agents.
