Meet the Woman Teaching Empathy to AI

Basically, AI in films look evil and perplexing and perhaps this is why so many of us are afraid. But one woman who is not afraid is Danielle Krettek. She's the Founder and Principal of Google's Empathy Lab, where she leads a team attempting to train empathy into Google's algorithms.
