Compassionate AI

Goals

To deepen our understanding of the guiding role compassion can play in an interreligious and interdisciplinary approach to AI ethics. Compassionate AI raises ethical issues about human dignity and relationship, religious questions about the nature of the human person, and technical challenges in broad interdisciplinary collaborations.

Our Experts

Thomas Arnold, Ali-Reza Bhojani, Jane Compson, Mark Graves and Cyrus Olsen

Editorial on Compassionate AI

Five of our fellows published an editorial on “Compassionate AI and the Alignment Problem” in the journal Theology and Science from our Partner the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences. In the article, these researchers explore how an interreligious and interdisciplinary focus on compassion can address concerns about aligning AI with human values and flourishing.

Thomas Arnold, Mark Graves, and Cyrus Olsen presented three papers on AI, Healthcare & Compassion at our Partner’s American Scientific Affiliate 2024 annual conference. They investigate compassion and ethical AI healthcare applications drawing upon psychology, human-robot interaction, and evidence-based medicine.
