More than two years ago, I wrote “Artificial Empathy: A Human Construct Borrowed by AI.” Back then, the idea that a machine could convincingly simulate compassion felt speculative.

When Simulation Begins to Outperform Sincerity Artificial empathy (AE) is no longer a curiosity; it’s becoming a measurable phenomenon. In this meta-analysis, in 13 of 15…
