Welcome to Project AEGIS: Automating Empathy – Globalising International Standards. An offshoot of the Emotional AI Lab, this project site is dedicated to critically understanding and developing an IEEE standard for the intersection of emulated empathy and human-AI partnering. We’ll be posting definitions, insights and updates as we go. For media and speaking, please contact Andrew McStay and he’ll connect you with the right team member.
