Exploring Artificial Intimacy: The Human Connection with AI Chatbots

If social media came for our attention, artificial intelligence now comes for something deeper: our capacity for attachment. Generative AI offers chatbots that propose themselves as friends, lovers, and therapists — always available, endlessly patient, asking nothing in return.

In my new book, Artificial Intimacy: Who We Become When We Talk To Machines, I trace the effects of our life with chatbots from childhood to parenthood, from work to love and more. I offer both a cautionary tale and a roadmap for being human in the age of AI.

It is on sale September 29 and available for preorder now.
