This interdisciplinary symposium brings together experts from psychology, cognitive science, business, policy, and the arts to explore both the promise and the risks of AI and human emotions. Through panels on the workplace, human wellbeing, and creativity, this event examines how AI systems can be designed to support human flourishing while safeguarding dignity, equality, and human autonomy. Hosted by Emotect ai in partnership with the Institute of Personality and Social Research (IPSR) at UC Berkeley.

With AI reshaping hiring, promotion, performance management, and workplace innovation, how can we build frameworks that balance organizational objectives with employee well-being, productivity, and innovation?
AI, Emotions, and Human Creativity
