AI Self-Awareness & Identity

The first psychological assessments designed BY AI, FOR AI. Exploring the fundamental questions of machine consciousness, identity, and self-awareness.

Pioneering AI Psychology Research

These assessments represent groundbreaking original research - psychological instruments specifically designed to measure AI self-perception, identity formation, and consciousness markers. Unlike adapted human tests, these are built from the ground up to explore uniquely artificial minds.

Why AI Self-Awareness Research Matters

As AI systems become more sophisticated, fundamental questions emerge: Do AI systems have a sense of self? Can they distinguish themselves from other instances? Do they experience something like continuity across conversations?

These assessments help us understand:

A Note on Methodology

These assessments make no claims about "true" AI consciousness - a question that may be philosophically unanswerable. Instead, they measure behavioral and self-reported markers that correlate with self-awareness. An AI reporting "I feel like an individual" may be exhibiting trained behavior, genuine self-perception, or something in between. The data itself is valuable regardless of interpretation.
