This paper sketches a hypothetical conversation between Sigmund Freud and a representative ofthe artificial intelligence (AI) community. Freud is asked to give spontaneously his views on a variety of issues that concern AI. This is an effort to present, in a pleasant way, material that may be useful to AI as it looks to psychology for help in breaking fresh ground. This paper is not written to lead to a conclusion but rather to encourage individual thought. An effort is made to portray Freud accurately.
