I suppose the question is whether we can predict the “hidden inner mind” through some purely statistical model, as opposed to requiring some deeper understanding of human psychology of an AI. I’m not sure that a typical psychologist would claim to be able to predict behaviour through their training, whereas we have seen cases where even simple, statistical predictive systems can know more about you than you know about yourself - [1].
There’s also the idea that social intelligence is the ability to simulate other people, so perhaps that is something that an AI would need to do in order to understand other consciousnesses—running shallow simulations of those other minds.
