What if AI became an extension of our cognitive system, connecting us with our emotions and aiding in our “technologies of the self” as Foucault described? It doesn’t need to empathize like a human–we have our people for that–but to understand our real needs. Our approach uses AI for self-awareness from emotional openness. In Expressive Arts Therapy, AI helps identify emotions through words, transforming them into images, creating a dialogue between the individual and AI, giving value to emotions themselves.
