My goal in this article is to encourage greater integration of the fields of AI and cognitive psychology by reviewing work on shared interests. I begin with examples that link my early research related to AI with my current efforts to organize knowledge in the cognitive sciences. I then describe how cognitive psychologists have contributed to the methods explained in The Master Algorithm: How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World (Domingos, 2015), including how these methods can be combined. The final section discusses three benefits of building bridges: using computational models in AI as theoretical models in cognitive psychology, solving joint computational problems, and facilitating the interactions between people and machines.
