Two speakers debate whether AI can read body language and tone well enough to know when to push someone versus comfort them. One says that balance feels fundamentally human. Both agree current technology isn't trustworthy enough yet, and AI needs careful deployment to help rather than harm.

So if you're going to ask AI to do those two functions and decide which one is appropriate at the time, again, I'm not saying that that's not something that it could do. I'm sure the model could be built. But right now, that feels a very human thing to look at somebody, to see the body language, to hear the voice, to get that intuitive sense of where they are, and then choose how to balance that challenge or support.
Yeah, I wouldn't trust the current level of technology to do that. Could. But I think you have to be incredibly careful how that technology is deployed, because really with, I mean, AI is just another tool, but we want to use it in such a way that it is bringing benefit, not adding risk.
