We must develop technology that augments humans rather than eliminates them, and focus on the core components of spirituality within technology. Current technology, aimed at reducing friction and optimizing convenience, often fails to nourish individuals and strips meaning from their lives.

Compassion, defined as an understanding and concern for others’ suffering, is important in driving meaningful human existence.

Compassion involves perspective-taking and empathy, which are essential for AI to effectively support humans and promote long-term well-being.

AI can bridge the gap between feelings and action, driving behavioral changes and promoting compassionate actions. Therefore, AI applications should be designed to cultivate empathy and compassion.

Compassion should be the bedrock of AI design in order to ensure that technology both benefits humanity and preserves essential human qualities.
