Episode Synopsis

Empathy in the Age of AI Season 1 Episode 1What if artificial intelligence isn’t just a tool...but a mirror?In this debut episode of Empathy in the Age of AI, we explore how our growing reliance on AI is exposing something deeper: a cultural allergy to emotional labor, vulnerability, and human connection.We’ve built machines to answer, respond, and even simulate care; but what happens when convenience replaces compassion? Why are we so eager to outsource the hardest parts of being human? And what does it mean to practice real empathy in a world optimized for speed, performance, and emotional shortcuts?🎙️ This episode explores:– The difference between being “nice” and being present– Why empathy is inefficient...and why that’s the point– What AI reveals about how we treat each other (and ourselves)– How performance culture masks emotional avoidance– Why doing “the work” matters more than sounding rightThis isn’t about tech fear or utopian AI dreams. It’s about people. And it starts with us.🔔 Subscribe for future episodes, including:– “How to Stay Human in Systems That Dehumanize You”– “Why Storytelling is a Survival Skill”– “The Limits of Language: Where AI Breaks, and So Do We”This video explores the decline of empathy in modern society, highlighting the growing homeless crisis in America.
