Publisher's Summary

Dive into the unsettling and fascinating world of the "uncanny valley," where the lines between human and machine blur to the point of discomfort. In this thought-provoking exploration, we'll examine the ethical implications of hyperrealistic AI, the robots, virtual influencers, and deepfakes that are shaping our world right now.

Uncover the psychology behind our aversion to the 'almost human' and how the uncanny valley might be hardwired into us. Grapple with the possibility of feeling empathy for machines, and the risk of blurring authenticity as AI mimics our behaviors, emotions, and creativity.

Most importantly, "Minds in the Valley" doesn't just raise questions–it champions a new way of thinking. Learn how we can create AI that complements us instead of copies us, and embrace the uncanny valley as an opportunity to redefine what makes us uniquely human.
