Excited to be giving an invited talk at @torontosri.bsky.social for "The Human Variable: Psychology for the AI Age." This event co-organized by my collaborators @minzlicht.bsky.social @anatperry.bsky.social exemplifies the interdisciplinary spirit of AI empathy research @psuliberalarts.bsky.social

This was such a fun episode! Kudos to @andymasley.bsky.social for making a dry (yes pun intended) topic so interesting. We also spent the first half talking about effective altruism and its critics and a bit at the end talking about self driving cars. Plus I finish a bottle of whiskey 🥃🥴
