At Summer Davos in China, experts said AI should move beyond boosting productivity and help foster reflection, creativity and deeper human experiences. Showcasing the “Doing Nothing with AI” installation, researchers demonstrated how EEG-based brain-sensing technology enables AI-powered machines to respond to human neural activity, creating more empathetic and personalised interactions.

Dalian (China): Artificial intelligence should move beyond improving productivity and help create space for reflection, creativity and deeper human experiences, experts said on Tuesday at the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting of the New Champions -- known as Summer Davos -- being held here.

Speaking to IANS, showcasing the convergence of art, neuroscience and AI, researchers and curators highlighted how emerging brain-sensing technologies are enabling more empathetic and personalised interactions between humans and machines.

Jahnavi Phalkey, Director of Bengaluru Science Gallery, said the installation, developed by artist Emmanuel Golab in collaboration with Science Gallery Melbourne, demonstrates how artificial intelligence can interpret signals from the human brain.

"We are from the Science Gallery International Network, and this is an exhibit from my colleagues at Science Gallery Melbourne," Phalkey said.
