Experts call for AI evolution beyond basic chatbots to enhance emotional support

Recent discussions highlight the need for AI to evolve beyond basic chatbots. Current tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini primarily serve as advanced search engines, lacking the ability to understand users' emotional states or provide personalized support. Innovations such as brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are being explored to enhance AI's capabilities. These technologies could allow AI to monitor users' mental states and proactively offer assistance, moving towards a more empathetic and context-aware interaction. Natura Umana is developing a multi-agent AI system called NatureOS, which features specialized AI personas that adapt to users' needs. This approach aims to create a more integrated and supportive AI experience, contrasting with the limitations of existing single-function chatbots.
