New book discusses the disturbing relationship between humans and AI

A recently published novel, “Artificial Intimacy: Who We Become When We Talk to Machines” which was written by American Socialist, Sherry Turkle, discusses the complicated yet disturbing relationship humans have created with Artificial Intelligent chatbots. Turkle is now the Abby Rockefeller Mauzé Professor of the Social Studies of Science and Technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and has used her research to compose a three-part book about what she has learned. She expands her experiences from talking with famous psychologists such as Erik Erikson to having quick discussions with her next-door neighbor. This technique gives her book a variety of different perspectives when they are dealing with AI. “Artificial Intimacy” is not the first book written by Turkle, yet it is the most recent and that is relevant to our current world.
