Rediscovering the Human in Human–Machine Interaction: Affective Computing, Ethics, and Responsible AI 

Affective Computing invites us to rethink AI from the perspective of human experience: emotions, vulnerability, care, context, and relationship. This talk discusses how affective technologies can support ethical human–machine interaction by preserving relational spaces, supporting human judgement, and helping the human dimension emerge more fully within intelligent systems.
