This working paper tests hypotheses inferred from the question, “Does AI have emotions?” The hypothesis tests draw on both the existing literature and the author’s related works (When AI Takes Charges of Humans, Human->AI->THEN, PERSON — NOT-person — LINE, WHAT IF ANIMALS AND AI ARE ALL “US”?, and Value Rationality, AI, Beholders). It then locates AI emotion within the author’s typology of emotion developed in Emotion. What on Earth is it. On this basis, the author proposes that AI emotion needs to be studied from both sides of the human-AI relationship
