AI & Human Emotions Symposium

Dates: Friday, February 6h
Location: UCal Berkeley

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly sophisticated in detecting, interpreting, and responding to human emotions, we stand at a critical crossroads. How will we integrate AI into our most intimate spaces while facing unprecedented questions about privacy, autonomy, and what it means to be human in an AI-driven world?

This landmark interdisciplinary symposium brings together experts in psychology, cognitive science, and neuroscience—alongside leaders in business, policy, and the arts—to examine both the peril and promise of how AI will understand, interact with, and influence human emotional experiences.

• AI, Emotions, and Human Well-Being
  As AI assumes therapeutic and caregiving roles, how do put safeguards in place to protect emotional autonomy, uphold human dignity, and ensure measurable, meaningful outcomes for mental health and human flourishing?
• AI, Emotions, and Workplace Innovation
  With AI reshaping hiring, promotion, and performance management, how can we design frameworks that balance organizational objectives with employee well-being, productivity, and innovation?
• AI, Emotions, and Human Creativity
  How can the arts guide the integration of AI and emotion, ensuring systems reflect empathy, imagination, and cultural depth?
• The Future of Computational Psychology
  How can computational methods help us model the richness of emotion while critically addressing the risks of reducing feelings to algorithmic form?
• Decision-Making and AI
  As AI systems increasingly shape human emotions, will decision-making evolve into enhanced collaboration or drift toward algorithmic dependence?
