Dr. Jennifer Long brings a powerful psychiatric perspective, exploring how professionals react when technology begins to replicate elements of expertise traditionally tied to identity and authority. She discusses how values, lived experiences, and emotional intelligence shape our understanding of fairness something that algorithms alone cannot fully capture.

The conversation ultimately shifts toward the future, asking what it truly means to preserve the human soul of justice in a world driven by intelligent systems.
