While today's AI systems are highly effective at recognizing patterns and solving cognitive problems, they remain fundamentally limited in important respects: they lack emotion, social motivation, and the capacity for empathy.

An AI that only calculates, but doesn’t have a "soul", cannot truly be called human-like.
