The Terminator paradox: How neuroscience can help us to understand Empathy and the fear of Artificial Intelligence

Some people are afraid of science. They think it is like a weird, horrific monster, that it is complicated, out of reach, or goes against some principle. However, the reality is that science and logic are in everything.

In the love of a mother for her child, in the petals of a sunflower, in the pyramids of Egypt. Science makes us understand atoms, the universe and makes us see how amazing life is!

How many were not those who fought in search of discovering scientific knowledge! Descartes, Kepler, and many others who, with their conviction and persistence, sought evidence at a time when doing so were at significant risk of death, and many died from it.

The scientific method is to define an experiment so that anyone who tries to carry it out will get the same result. Making it clear here that we are not talking about quantum physics (in quantum physics, everything is possible, really).
There is no denying the importance of science in all aspects of our lives, especially in education, whether in critical thinking or teaching methodologies, and how it all transforms an individual. And when you change the individual, you change everyone.

This book, co-written with my dear friend Mariana Verzaro, and is the result of several engaging conversations about concepts and possible approaches to building Empathy in AI and correlate it with some social and philosophical aspects of Artificial Intelligence from the neuroscientific point of view.

Mariana Verzaro is one of the most significant sources of inspiration in my life. She has a degree in Fashion, a Postgraduate Degree in music therapy, and a master's degree in Neuroscience. She is the creator of the "mverzaro" channel on YouTube, where she talks about "neuroscience for everyone.

She is currently completing her Ph.D. in Neuroscience at USP's Psychology Institute in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and she teaches psychology and works with researching different topics in neuroscience, including hypnoses, telepathy, and telekinesis, spirits, magic, religion, music, arts, fashion, yoga, and meditation.

Mariana is a digital influencer with her blog and vlog and a respected speaker in neuroscience, technology, spirituality, Fashion, consumption, and an event producer and artist manager with her company "Cнrculo Produзхes."."

This book is dedicated to everyone interested in a basic understanding of the possible correlations of Artificial Intelligence with empathy, fears, and other emotions from a neuroscientific and practical perspective and is open to pursuing further knowledge on these topics.
