Today, I sat down with Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi for a timely conversation about Compassionate AI—and whether compassion can become a guiding force in how artificial intelligence is designed, developed, and used.

We explore his vision for a Compassion Quotient, the moral responsibility of those shaping emerging technologies, and the fundamentally human qualities we must never outsource to machines. As AI transforms our world, can technological progress be measured not only by intelligence and efficiency, but by its ability to protect human dignity and serve humanity?
