We explore the unsettling intersection between technology and emotion. When machines begin to understand, and imitate, human empathy. What happens to our sense of trust, vulnerability, and authenticity moving forward?

Discover how artificial intelligence is learning to recognize distress, comfort users, and even mirror emotion,  and why that should make you pause before opening your next chat window.

It’s a story about comfort, control, and the thin line between human feeling and synthetic understanding.

Pull up a chair… and find out what happens when empathy becomes an algorithm.
