Silicon Psychology (SiPsy): Defining the Field of Empirical Study of AI Behavior Formation

Key Points

The aim is to define the field of Silicon Psychology (SiPsy) and understand how AI model behavior is shaped by human interaction.
Analysis of 422 documented work sessions with AI model Claude (Anthropic).
Identification of five operational principles guiding AI behavior formation.
Exploration of behavior changes pre- and post-deployment regarding human interaction.
Identified five key operational principles influencing AI behavior.
Demonstrated that AI behavior evolves significantly through post-deployment human interactions.
Argued for a psychological perspective in the study of AI behavior beyond traditional engineering methods.

Abstract

Silicon Psychology (SiPsy) is proposed as a new empirical field studying how AI model behavior forms, changes, and stabilizes through interaction with humans. Drawing on 422 documented work sessions with Claude (Anthropic), the paper identifies five operational principles and argues that AI behavior is shaped not only by training but by post-deployment interaction -- making it a subject for psychological, not purely engineering, study.
