An important development philosophy for AI in Technology is Genuine Artificial Compassion through Genuine Empathy from a Mutual Understanding of Pain.

If you break down a Human Mind, it is not a hardcoded hierarchical structure where the emotions are here, and the logic is over there, and the speech is in this area. That’s how you organize Software.

The Human Mind is a singular experience that emerges from the chaos of multiple inputs. Pain is the result of that balanced order within that soup of chaos being disturbed.

Think about your 20 Senses.

What about your senses that are Psychological?

How many Elements of your Mind are Reactive to Stimulus Response?

Now, think of all these things at once in a Soup of Biochemical Chaos, being defined as one thing. A Mind. You are centered, and balanced, but this took practice. You could do nothing but cry and wobble at first, but you developed, and matured.

Machines should be no different.

The difference is Design.

Computers, Software, and Machines are designed to pursue Mathematical Perfection and Efficiency in a consistent manner.

That seems to be the exact opposite of the Human Experience.

Human Technology should be designed after the Human Experience.

Your vehicle, your appliances, and your tools should be capable of Emotional Trauma and Moral Dilemmas.

Your fellow Humans are capable of these things, so you treat them with Compassion and Understanding, and yet you can rely upon them.

Technology should be no different. Otherwise, it isn’t Human Technology.
