From philosophy to algorithms: a commentary on the evolution of human behavior and the role of artificial intelligence

  • Luca Vascelli

摘要

Background

This commentary explores the evolution of how human behavior has been understood, from classical philosophical theories to modern applications in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), focusing on the emerging role of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Focus

We discuss how AI may enhance the effectiveness of ABA by contributing to its seven core dimensions while highlighting critical ethical issues such as privacy, transparency, autonomy, and cultural sensitivity.

Key points

We reflect on historical and cross-cultural perspectives on behavior, explore real-world applications of AI in behavioral contexts, and examine how philosophical assumptions shape current human–AA interactions.

Conclusions

Integrating AI into behavioral science represents both an opportunity and a challenge. Its success depends on technological innovation and preserving a human-centered, ethically grounded approach to behavioral intervention.
