Max van Duijn: using language as a window on the mind

Assistant professor Max van Duijn combines cognitive science with Artificial Intelligence (AI). His research is on children’s stories and the question if they have a so-called Theory of Mind. This is the ability to understand the mental state of somebody else and use this information to explain and predict human behavior.

But here's the twist: Max's research not only applies to the exploration of storytelling but also serves as a test for AI. With the data collection, he and his team investigate uncharted territory: Does AI possess a mind? Can entities like ChatGPT truly empathize?
