AI with Empathy for Humans
This article explores the concept of AI with empathy, drawing on expert insights from Stanford's Imagination in Action summit. It challenges the dominant narrative of job displacement and technological rivalry, urging a shift towards empathetic, human-centred AI design. Through a mix of research, industry perspectives and cultural reflection, the piece makes a compelling case for alignment, context sensitivity and AI literacy as the true cornerstones of responsible AI adoption across Asia. Written in a conversational yet commercially sharp tone, it invites professionals to see AI not as a threat, but as a potential partner; if we build it right.
