Episode Synopsis

AI can sound deeply empathetic, but style is not maturity.

This episode unpacks why confusing empathy with wisdom is dangerous in high-stakes contexts like healthcare, policing, or mental health. From NEDA’s chatbot failure to biased hospital algorithms, we explore what real agency in AI means: boundaries, responsibility, and accountability.

If you want to understand why quick fixes and empathy cues are not enough — and how to build AI that truly serves human safety and dignity — this is for you.
