Interesting proposal. I definitely think that implementing metacognitive facilities, as well as internal representations of the perceived emotional states of the actors around the AI, seem like good steps in the right direction. Predicate logic will never work, though. One other aspect I found a bit odd: > As an agent designer, it gives one confidence in choosing “insight meditation” as a philosophy of mind because the mental processes have been documented to create compassion in even the most hardened criminals (Ariel and Menahemi, 1997). This strikes me as a bit of an absurd criteria for choosing what is, essentially, a software algorithm. This system is so fundamentally different from a human being, that I don't think any such parallels are warranted.
