Empathy, AI, and the Effort Paradox with Professor Michael Inzlicht
In this episode of 'Empathy Unbound,' host Andrew Phipps engages in a profound conversation with Professor Michael Inzlicht from the University of Toronto.
They explore the complexities of empathy, the potential of empathic AI, and how humans often avoid empathy due to its mentally demanding nature. The discussion also delves into the intriguing 'effort paradox,' where effort is both avoided and valued, and how chronic cannabis use and social media impact human behaviour and well-being.
This episode offers a deep dive into modern psychological science, AI ethics, and the dynamic interplay between work, effort, and leisure.
