About this listen
As AI companions become more emotionally responsive and always available, they’re changing how we experience loneliness, attachment, and connection. In this episode, explore the psychology behind AI companionship, parasocial bonds, and the risk of replacing human relationships with frictionless digital ones.
Featuring expert clips from The AIX Factor podcast (discussion with Dr. Genevieve Ortowski on AI companionship) and the American Psychological Association’s Speaking of Psychology podcast (Ep. 408: “How will AI companions change our human relationships?” with Drs. Ashley Golden and Rachel Wood).
