Machine Empathy
Machine empathy refers to the ability of artificial intelligence or automated systems to recognize, interpret, and respond to human emotions in a way that mimics genuine understanding. This concept goes beyond simple data processing by incorporating emotional cues to foster more natural interactions, and in modern applications like chatbots or therapy bots, it helps bridge the gap between human and machine, making technology feel more relatable and supportive.
