contents The psychological science of artificial intelligence (AI) can be broadly defined as an emerging field of psychology that examines all AI-related mental and behavioral processes from the perspective of psychology. This field has been growing exponentially in the recent decade. This review synthesizes the existing literature on the psychological science of AI with a goal to provide a comprehensive conceptual framework for planning, conducting, and assessing scientific research in the field. It consists of six parts, starting with an overview of the entire field of the psychological science of artificial intelligence, then synthesizing the literature in each of the four specific areas (i.e., Psychology of designing AI, psychology of using AI, AI for examining psychological processes, and AI for advancing psychological methods), and concluding with an outlook on the field in the future.
