Artificial intelligence can predict human behavior with startling accuracy. This is the result of comprehensive research. If the AI can create a model of the behavior of certain individuals, that model can be expanded to larger groups. Every kind of behavior in groups begins with individuals. The mathematical formulas that are based on Ludwig Boltzmann’s theorems make it possible to create models of how certain people and people groups behave. That ideal gas model is the thing that inspired SciFi novelist Isaac Asimov to create the model of psychohistory. In Asimov’s novels, psychohistory is a tool used to model and predict how human groups behave in certain situations.
The AI that can predict human behavior accurately can act as a tool that assists humans in war and peace. The AI that can predict how humans behave and how they act can be an ultimate tool in work interviews. That tool can be ultra-powerful in the military. And the system’s accuracy rises when the group that the AI tries to predict is homogenous. That thing makes those AIs scale their behavior models through the entire group. This thigh makes it possible to predict how things like jet fighter pilots operate. The ability to collect and process data makes it possible to create models for every possible situation. The ability to predict behavior can decrease traffic accidents.
Ludwig Boltzmann (1844-1906)
Psychohistory is here more accurately than Asimov ever could imagine.
"Psychohistory is a social science that analyzes human behavior by combining psychology, history, and other social sciences, while also being an amalgam of psychology, history, and related social sciences and the humanities. Its proponents claim to examine the "why" of history, especially the difference between stated intention and actual behavior. It works to combine the insights of psychology, especially psychoanalysis, with the research methodology of the social sciences and humanities to understand the emotional origin of the behavior of individuals, groups and nations, past and present. Work in the field has been done in the areas of childhood, creativity, dreams, family dynamics, overcoming adversity, personality, political and presidential psychobiography. There are major psychohistorical studies of anthropology, art, ethnology, history, politics and political science, and much else." (Wikipedia, Psychohistory)
There is also the possibility to include things like statistics, and other mathematical models into those sciences.
Psychohistory should be a SciFi tool that makes it possible to calculate and predict the behavior of large human groups. The novelist Isaac Asimov introduced that tool in his Foundation novel series. Then researchers started to investigate that tool. And maybe psychohistory is reality sooner than we expect. Or maybe it already exists.
However, researchers created a model that makes the psychohistory possible. The system uses historical databases to model how people act in certain situations. Then the algorithms search for similarities in the modern environment. The psychohistory is based on Boltzmann’s NTP formulas and models that are used to calculate ideal gas and its flow in galaxies. The idea is that it's easier to calculate and predict the behavior of large groups than one individual. This is why the big entity's behavior is easier to calculate than one gas molecule. The problem is that in the time when
Asimov created his idea of a tool that can calculate. The behavior of the large human groups, quantum computers, and neurocomputers was not predicted. When people believed that psychohistory could ever be created they were wrong. The modern internet makes it possible to collect data from people’s behavior. And that model makes it possible to create the macro-model that helps to predict the behavior of a large human group. The system that handles a very big data mass can calculate the behavior of the individual people and then make a matrix about that thing. The system can create millions and billions of data matrixes that can unite into one entirety. That makes it possible to predict: how society reacts and behaves in certain situations. And that can be the tool that can turn entire society to a new level.
