Empathy in Automation: Leading with Humanity in a Tech-Driven World
summary
Argues that automation can enhance human connection rather than replace it, backed by a concrete framework called key empathy behaviors: patience, perspective, connection and a practical origin story where a course recording process is changed to accommodate vulnerability and succeeds. Cites a LinkedIn Learning course with ~800,000 views and an ongoing live podcast Empathy In Automation as evidence, and discusses using AI tools as productivity partners and collaboration prompts rather than black boxes.
