重要他人 AI:作为长期关系智能的身份、记忆与情绪调节
文章背景与核心概要
本文介绍了“重要他人人工智能”(Significant Other Artificial Intelligence,简称 SO-AI),这是一个旨在应对现代社会缺乏长期关系锚点的新型关系型人工智能领域。传统的“重要他人”(SOs)在稳定身份、调节情绪以及支持叙事意义建构方面发挥着至关重要的作用,然而现有的移情 AI 模型大多仍处于被动反应和短期交互阶段。
为了弥补这一鸿沟,SO-AI 综合了心理学和社会学理论,确立了长期关系智能的核心要求——包括身份意识、长期记忆、主动支持、叙事共同建构以及严格的伦理边界执行。论文提出了一个包含拟人化界面、关系认知层和治理层的概念架构,并制定了全面的研究议程,以评估其社会文化影响和长期可行性。

Summary
This paper introduces Significant Other Artificial Intelligence (SO-AI), a novel domain of relational artificial intelligence designed to address the lack of long-term relational anchors in modern society. While traditional "Significant Others" (SOs) play a vital role in stabilizing identity, regulating emotion, and supporting narrative meaning-making, existing empathic AI models remain largely reactive and short-term.
To bridge this gap, SO-AI synthesizes psychological and sociological theory to establish core requirements for long-term relational intelligence—including identity awareness, long-term memory, proactive support, narrative co-construction, and strict ethical boundary enforcement. The paper proposes a conceptual architecture comprising an anthropomorphic interface, a relational cognition layer, and a governance layer, alongside a comprehensive research agenda to evaluate its sociocultural impact and long-term viability.

Abstract
Significant Others (SOs) stabilize identity, regulate emotion, and support narrative meaning-making, yet many people today lack access to such relational anchors. Recent advances in large language models and memory-augmented AI raise the question of whether artificial systems could support some of these functions.
Existing empathic AIs, however, remain reactive and short-term, lacking autobiographical memory, identity modeling, predictive emotional regulation, and narrative coherence. This manuscript introduces Significant Other Artificial Intelligence (SO-AI) as a new domain of relational AI. It synthesizes psychological and sociological theory to define SO functions and derives requirements for SO-AI, including: * Identity awareness * Long-term memory * Proactive support * Narrative co-construction * Ethical boundary enforcement
A conceptual architecture is proposed, comprising an anthropomorphic interface, a relational cognition layer, and a governance layer. Furthermore, a research agenda outlines methods for evaluating identity stability, longitudinal interaction patterns, narrative development, and sociocultural impact. SO-AI reframes AI-human relationships as long-term, identity-bearing partnerships and provides a foundational blueprint for investigating whether AI can responsibly augment the relational stability many individuals lack today.
摘要
重要他人(SOs)能够稳定身份、调节情绪并支持叙事意义的建构,然而当今许多人却缺乏此类关系锚点。大语言模型和具记忆增强功能的 AI 的最新进展引发了一个问题:人工系统是否能够支持其中的某些功能。
然而,现有的移情 AI 仍然停留在被动反应和短期交互阶段,缺乏自传体记忆、身份建模、预测性情绪调节以及叙事连贯性。本论文引入了重要他人人工智能(Significant Other Artificial Intelligence,简称 SO-AI)作为关系型 AI 的一个新领域。它综合了心理学和社会学理论来定义 SO 的功能,并推导出了 SO-AI 的需求,包括: * 身份意识 * 长期记忆 * 主动支持 * 叙事共同建构 * 伦理边界执行
本文提出了一个概念架构,包含拟人化界面、关系认知层和治理层。此外,研究议程概述了评估身份稳定性、纵向交互模式、叙事发展和社会文化影响的方法。SO-AI 将人机关系重新构想为长期的、承载身份的伙伴关系,并为研究 AI 是否能够负责任地增强许多人目前所缺乏的关系稳定性提供了一个基础蓝图。
