Love Machines: How Artificial Intelligence is Transforming Our Relationships

Friends. Lovers. Therapists. ‘Deathbots’. Artificial intelligence is now performing new roles for millions of us every single day. How are these new ‘relationships’ changing how we view technology—and each other?

In Love Machines, James Muldoon guides through these new forms of love, intimacy and connection, drawing on compelling interviews with users, developers and chatbots themselves. Along the way, he sheds light on the social conditions which have led to the exponential rise of the use of AI companions, and the unregulated corporations behind these technologies seeking to profit from users.
