- Abstract: Existing approaches to Theory of Mind (ToM) in Artificial Intelligence (AI)
overemphasize prompted, or cue-based, ToM, which may limit our collective
ability to develop Artificial Social Intelligence (ASI). Drawing from research
in computer science, cognitive science, and related disciplines, we contrast
prompted ToM with what we call spontaneous ToM -- reasoning about others'
mental states that is grounded in unintentional, possibly uncontrollable
cognitive functions. We argue for a principled approach to studying and
developing AI ToM and suggest that a robust, or general, ASI will respond to
prompts \textit{and} spontaneously engage in social reasoning.

We argue that shortcomings stem from one overarching failure: AI systems lack wisdom.
While AI research has focused on task-level strategies, metacognition is underdeveloped in AI systems.
We propose that integrating metacognitive capabilities into AI systems is crucial for enhancing their robustness, explainability, cooperation, and safety.

We introduce a framework for understanding metacognitive artificial intelligence (AI) that we call TRAP: transparency, reasoning, adaptation, and perception.
We discuss each of these aspects in-turn and explore how neurosymbolic AI (NSAI) can be leveraged to address challenges of metacognition.

"Can machines think?" and the Turing Test to assess whether machines could achieve human-level intelligence is one of the roots of AI.
This paper challenge the idea of a "thinking machine" supported by current AIs since there is no sense of self in them.
Current artificial intelligence is only seemingly intelligent information processing and does not truly understand or be subjectively aware of oneself.

The intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and neuroscience in Explainable AI (XAI) is pivotal for enhancing transparency and interpretability in complex decision-making processes.
This paper explores the evolution of XAI methodologies, ranging from feature-based to human-centric approaches.
The challenges in achieving explainability in generative models, ensuring responsible AI practices, and addressing ethical implications are discussed.
