What Does and What Should AI Know? – Frontiers and Ethics of Human-Centered AI

As artificial intelligence increasingly perceives, interprets, and simulates human emotions, behavior, and thought, we stand at a turning point. From emotion-aware chatbots and multimodal LLMs to affective computing in health and education, AI systems are reshaping how we understand—and represent—what it means to be human.

This public panel brings together experts from academia and industry to explore both the frontiers and ethical boundaries of AI that seeks to «know» the human experience. Together, we will discuss how these systems influence empathy, autonomy, and social interaction, and what frameworks are needed to ensure responsible, human-centered AI.

Panelists:

• Ágoston Weisz (Google)
• Prof. Dr. Emily Cross (ETH)
• Dr. Manuel Hendry (ZHdK)
• Dr. Muriel Leuenberger (UZH)
