The Path of Symmetry in Interaction with Artificial Intelligence

Neurobiomarketing R&D is a company with over 20 years of experience, founded in Milan, Italy in 2003, specializing in the research of the central and peripheral nervous system activity in relation to the emotional aspects of communication, marketing, and politics.

Since 2016, we have been developing algorithms for researching emotional nodes in communication, feeding millions of data into an expert system called AiEssence.

With this information, we have modeled a new module to integrate it into artificial intelligence systems. In 2021, Dr. Alberto Apicella, founder of NeuroBioMarketing and AiEssence, conducted doctoral research on the Turing Test in a context of artificial intelligence specialized in metaphors, evaluating levels of empathy. The result demonstrated that empathy is a key factor in evaluating performance in a Turing Test.

As a result of these findings, our research has led us to interpret the relationship between humans and AI from the perspective of symmetry.

It’s surprising how many forms of symmetry we can find in nature and in our daily lives. Symmetry refers to the proportion and balance maintained when figures or bodies are divided into equal parts.

Types of Symmetry

Reflection Symmetry: Like when you look in a mirror and see a reflected image.

Rotational Symmetry: When a figure can rotate around a point and still look the same.

Translational Symmetry: A pattern repeats along an axis.

Examples in Nature

Snow Crystals: Each one is unique but has hexagonal symmetry.

Flowers: Many flowers have radial symmetry, like sunflowers.

Butterflies: Their wings are often almost exactly symmetrical to each other.

Examples in Art and Architecture

Mandala: Designs with radial symmetry that are widely used in Hindu and Buddhist cultures.

Gothic Cathedrals: Like Notre Dame, which showcases impressive reflection symmetry.

We would like to share with you the results of this line of research to improve and expand the quality of relationships between humans and artificial intelligence.
