AI & Relationships

“We need a new phrase: AI attachment disorders”

If social media began a race for our attention, generative AI has kicked off a race for our emotions.

 

Watch Daniel Barcay – tech philosopher, frontline AI conscience keeper – ring the alarm bell on Big Tech’s new grab – this time for our feelings, desires, emotions. Discover the rise of the attachment economy. And unpack the burning issues – what it means to interact with an AI that is trying to “get you”. AI sycophancy. AI psychosis. Is it design – or the black box nature of “creature AI”? And do we have enough agency to guardrail this species-scale technology?
