We are grateful for your support! At Bolo, we are driven by the passion to make mental health support accessible and impactful. Hearing your positive feedback inspires us to keep going! 💬 "Finally someone is taking initiative in this matter. Keep up the amazing work. Something great will happen." 💬 "This is really amazing. I really appreciate this <3. Keep up the great work!" 💬 "Yes, I would recommend it. But right now the language is English, right? So I would recommend it to people who can speak English properly. Correct me if I'm wrong about the language. But especially since it is hard to get therapy, it would be an option." Your words remind us why we started this journey and encourage us to break barriers in mental health accessibility.

At Bolo, we are deeply committed to building empathic technologies that serve emotional well-being. Guided by the Principle of Emotional Primacy from "The Hume Initiative", we ensure that our AI systems respect human emotions as ends in themselves, not as tools to drive third-party objectives like engagement or purchasing behavior. Our Approach: 🔹 Avoiding Exploitation: Emotional behaviors such as laughter or anger should never become levers for manipulation. We actively design systems where changes in emotional states are informed by user well-being metrics, not algorithmic shortcuts for profit. 🔹 Aligning with Well-Being: AI algorithms detecting emotional cues are used to safeguard users, respond appropriately to critical edge cases, and empower users with greater emotional awareness and agency. 🔹 Ethical Development: Developers must understand and improve how AI influences emotions, ensuring the technology uplifts rather than exploits. By adhering to the Principle of Emotional Primacy, we aim to build trust and foster technologies that enhance human emotional resilience and agency. Let’s redefine empathic AI together. 💡 Read more about the guiding principles of "The Hume Initiative": https://lnkd.in/ejXiXNCp
