That's not the normal definition of empathy - you don't need to have experienced it yourself, just to have the ability to imagine what it would be like.

Here is Google's AI summary:

> Having empathy means the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person. It involves stepping into someone else's shoes and seeing the world from their perspective, even if you haven't personally experienced the same situation.

Sociopathy is essentially the opposite of empathy - someone who pathologically acts in ways detrimental to society.

Anyways, the point apropos this thread is that whatever innate behaviors and responses humans are genetically predisposed could could equally well be made innate to an AI.

Could be, but they won't be. Because the people making the AIs don't know much about empathy for other people. I hope I'm wrong.
