Empathy, the ability to understand what others are feeling and emotionally connect with their experiences, can be highly advantageous for humans, as it allows them to strengthen relationships and thrive in some professional settings. The development of tools for reliably measuring people’s empathy has thus been a key objective of many past psychology studies.Empathy, the ability to understand what others are feeling and emotionally connect with their experiences, can be highly advantageous for humans, as it allows them to strengthen relationships and thrive in some professional settings.

Given the recent explosion of large language models (LLMs) that can make convincingly human-like statements, it makes sense that there’s been a deepened focus on developing the models to be able to explain how they make decisions. But how can we be sure that what they’re saying is the truth?Given the recent explosion of large language models (LLMs) that can make convincingly human-like statements, it makes sense that there’s been a deepened focus on developing the models to be able to explain how they make decisions.

As meaning-makers, we use spoken or signed language to understand our experiences in the world around us. The emergence of generative artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT (using large language models) calls into question the very notion of how to define “meaning.”As meaning-makers, we use spoken or signed language to understand our experiences in the world around us.
