EMO-GI #13: Algorithms and Love

Thanks to my EMO-GI colleague Michaela for the tipoff to this resource: a talk given at a conference.

While algorithms are a set of recipes, or a set of instructions, that help us filter data on the outside, it is our intuition that helps us with a lot of data on the inside. Now, that intrinsic data doesn't have the same kind of boundaries as extrinsic data, so holding theme together makes for a very interesting tension -- that I want to explore today.

This explores the difference between BIG DATA and DEEP DATA.

A key aspect of the EMO-GI project is to connect socio-emotional learning and the link with AI and Climate Change.

The talk finishes with a quote from the Dalai Lama:

“Technology can greatly increase human ability but technology cannot produce compassion.”

Speaking of which, the Compassion Bot is an AI tool founded in 2025.

I've been having a go with it, and will report back in a later blog post.
