Empathy is the next frontier in AI – and its greatest security risk

This is empathic AI: systems designed to perceive, interpret, and respond to human emotions in real time. It’s not just a technical leap. It’s an emotional contract.
And in the Asia-Pacific, where empathic AI is being rolled out at unprecedented scale, that contract is becoming a new attack surface.
