Algorithm of Empathy: When machines learn to feel, humans remember their humanity

By Deepak Kunnel

At the pulsating heart of Bangalore's tech empire, Vikram Mehra fights a silent human crisis: Will machines be able to learn empathy, or are we training them to become like us, with our ugliest biases? As the architect of Athena, a revolutionary AI reshaping industries, Vikram realises that its algorithms are quietly eroding lives-denying loans to the marginalized, mistaking grief for risk, and reducing human struggles to cold metrics.

Set in the digital era, Algorithm of Empathy is a captivating tale of balancing corporate greed and ethics. From corporate boardrooms to the rain-soaked streets of Bangalore where protesters demand justice, Vikram must face the searing question of whether empathy is an algorithm that society should never outsource. This book challenges readers to consider what and who is left behind when progress is quantified in zeroes and ones.
