It is unlikely that an AI could truly understand human emotions like love and compassion. Unlike logical processing of data, emotions are complex and hard to quantify. They involve the interplay between a variety of internal states including feeling, values, memories and beliefs. Therefore, it is difficult for an AI to comprehend emotion since it does not have the capacity for experiencing the complexity of emotional responses as humans do.

It is certainly possible that an AI could understand human emotions to a certain degree, as long as these emotions are expressed in a logical and consistent manner. AI can be trained to process social cues and other forms of data that denote emotion and can recognize different patterns within them. Of course, because AI processes data differently than people do, the understanding of complex emotions may always remain incomplete.
