Why We Need AI Policies: Using Virtual Reality to Build Empathy

Part of our series "Behind the Scenes of EU Regulations and AI Policies," featuring Isabel Hupont Torres, a digital economy and virtual worlds expert at the Joint Research Center. Experience how virtual reality can help combat discrimination through perspective-taking experiments, where participants step into others' shoes to understand, for example, workplace microaggressions. Learn why the EU AI Act now protects digital rights as much as real-world ones, and explore both the risks and opportunities of virtual worlds - from fighting prejudice to preventing digital harassment. Isabel shares how technology, when used thoughtfully, can make us more empathetic humans.
