What happens when we get attached to AI (with MIT's Sherry Turkle)
For the past four decades Sherry Turkle has studied the social and psychological implications of AI. MIT Professor and author of the upcoming book "Artificial Intimacy," Sherry sits down with Pioneers of AI host Rana el Kaliouby to deliver a warning about the slippery slope we’re all stepping on to with our use of AI.
Sherry is direct and unfiltered in explaining why artificial intimacy is an oxymoron, what happens when humans become emotionally attached to AI, and why replacing human relationships with AI means we’ve basically given up on each other. But don't you worry, she leaves us with a strong message of agency and hope.
The ultimate challenge is to combine everything you have learned. Watch the track ahead, maintain a useful position, make controlled movements, collect rewards when the route is safe, and remain focused as the speed increases.
