AI and Emotion: Should We Desire Emotionally Capable AI?

YUFE Academy lecture

Emotional A.I. is quickly becoming a reality, with advanced models designed to act as friends, caretakers, and even therapists, claiming to possess emotional intelligence. But can these A.I. models genuinely feel emotions, or are we simply witnessing sophisticated simulations? In this online YUFE Academy lecture hosted by Maastricht University, Dr. Kris Goffin will explore emotional A.I., blending insights from philosophy and cognitive science.
