In a new feature by CULTURED’s Erin Zhang, Yves Behar, founder of Fuseproject and one of design’s most persistent humanists, reflects on how empathy can guide innovation as we move deeper into an A.I.-driven era. The piece traces Behar’s long-standing commitment to technology that enhances, not replaces, our humanity, highlighting the philosophy behind landmark projects such as the Samsung Frame TV, the Snoo robotic bassinet, and Fuseproject’s work in embodied A.I., including Moxie and ElliQ. Against the backdrop of a recent conversation hosted in San Francisco as part of Tishman Speyer’s Cultural Index series, Behar shares a perspective shaped by decades of designing for real people and real needs.
