Empathy is an element of intelligence. So to make an AGI comparable to human intelligence, it would probably need empathy as a pre requisite.

Else it would not be able to pass certain tasks that require it to prove its intelligence.

Again ability to understand perspective doesn't make one empathic. That's a very fine distinction. People who completely lack empathy still do very well in understanding perspectives. In other words empathy can be faked rather easily because people confuse ability to care with ability to understand. It is done quite often by psychopaths.
