[Ailist] Carl Rogers and AI

[Hank Kearns]

Good morning,

I’m sure I’m not the only one to notice the connection between AI and  
the writings of Carl Rogers.

Perhaps a prerequisite to understanding AI is becoming a fully- 
functioning” person. By the way, I’m still working hard at both  
processes. :)

Rogers spent most of his career describing the healthy person, does  
this sound familiar? :)

In his collection of essays, On Becoming a Person (1953) there was a  
section of his book, The Good Life and the Fully Functioning Person.  
In that section he listed the characteristics of the process of  
becoming a person.

Rogers was interested in describing the healthy person.  His term is  
"fully-functioning," and involves the following qualities:
1 - An increasing Openness to Experience

2 - Increasingly Existential Living

3 - An increasing Trust in His Organism

If you Google Carl Rogers you will find a huge amount of hits.



The best,



Hank Kearns
