But they're working on it.

If it can simulate human responses, it's AI.

That is the Turing test. Can it pass for human through a text interface?
Bypasses all philosophical issues or questions about implementation.

Remember Tay the racist stoner?
That was the first 'bot to pass the Turing test (as far as we know).

Short answer to your question: Yes.

“Can AI be psychopathic?”

If it is programmed by physopaths, I would say, yes.

Well, above average IQ and zero ability to ‘feel’ anyone’s pain. Sounds like AI could be psychopathic IF not programmed correctly.
