Beyond the Empathy Illusion: Algorithmic Vulnerability as a Strategy to Mitigate Inherent Biases in Conversational AI

Author's Note: This document is a conceptual and academic exercise designed to illustrate the structure of a scientific paper and to propose the framework of "algorithmic vulnerability." The empirical study described in Section 4, including its participants, methodology, and results, is a fictional simulation created for demonstrative purposes and does not represent real research data. The purpose of this work is to foster discussion on the ethical design of AI.
