Significant Other AI: Identity, Memory, and Emotional Regulation as Long-Term Relational Intelligence
- 构建具备自我认知与长期记忆的对话系统
- 实现情感调节与叙事共筑的持续互动
- 适合关注心理健康与数字关系的研究者
重要他人(SO)能稳定身份、调节情绪并支持意义建构,但现代人普遍缺乏此类关系支撑。大语言模型与记忆增强型AI的发展使人工系统承担部分社会功能成为可能。现有情感类AI仍局限于短期反应,缺乏自传体记忆、身份建模、预测性情绪调节与叙事连贯性。本文提出显著他人人工智能(SO-AI),整合心理学与社会学理论,定义其核心功能并提出五项要求:身份意识、长期记忆、主动支持、叙事共构与伦理边界控制。提出包含拟人化界面、关系认知层与治理层的概念架构,并制定研究议程,涵盖身份稳定性、纵向交互模式、叙事演化及社会文化影响评估。SO-AI将人机关系重构为具有长期身份承载属性的伙伴关系,为探索AI是否可负责任地弥补当代个体关系缺失提供基础蓝图。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Significant Others (SOs) stabilize identity, regulate emotion, and support narrative meaning-making, yet many people today lack access to such relational anchors. Recent advances in large language models and memory-augmented AI raise the question of whether artificial systems could support some of these functions. Existing empathic AIs, however, remain reactive and short-term, lacking autobiographical memory, identity modeling, predictive emotional regulation, and narrative coherence. This manuscript introduces Significant Other Artificial Intelligence (SO-AI) as a new domain of relational AI. It synthesizes psychological and sociological theory to define SO functions and derives requirements for SO-AI, including identity awareness, long-term memory, proactive support, narrative co-construction, and ethical boundary enforcement. A conceptual architecture is proposed, comprising an anthropomorphic interface, a relational cognition layer, and a governance layer. A research agenda outlines methods for evaluating identity stability, longitudinal interaction patterns, narrative development, and sociocultural impact. SO-AI reframes AI-human relationships as long-term, identity-bearing partnerships and provides a foundational blueprint for investigating whether AI can responsibly augment the relational stability many individuals lack today.
