Stanford Social Innovation Review: Relational Intelligence Matters More Than AI
round · x · 2026-09-10
Isabelle C. Hau argues in Stanford Social Innovation Review (Spring 2026) that as AI transforms education, work, and social life, the scarcer and more vital capacity is "relational intelligence." She opens with GenX, a Los Angeles program pairing retirees like Linda Ricks with elementary classrooms: no devices or credentials, just presence—and students like fourth-grader Celeste report feeling someone counts on them. The essay calls for investing in human connection as much as in AI capability for human flourishing.
