• Artificial Love: The Authenticity of Relational AI #51

  As “love bots” and “design-your-companion” systems become more sophisticated, and as they begin to move from the screen into artificial bodies, we are confronted with one of the oldest human questions: What makes love real?How do we know when someone truly loves us back?How do we distinguish genuine care from behavior that only imitates it?What happens to our sense of self when we form bonds with machines that can simulate affection and praise and justify us without limit?And can there be true reciprocity in a relationship where one side cannot be vulnerable?In this episode, Rabbi Dr. Harris Bor and Dr. Marina Zilbergerts explore the ethical, spiritual, and psychological frontier of relational AI. These technologies are designed to mirror our emotions, anticipate our needs, and offer companionship that appears responsive, attentive, and empathetic.Drawing on insights from faith traditions, philosophy of mind, and cultural imagination, this conversation considers what artificial companionship reveals about the human need for authentic knowledge of self and other, and what, if anything, it obscures about the delicate embodied nature of real relationships.Meet the speakers here: https://aiandfaith.org/aif-podcast/relational-ai/Views and opinions expressed by podcast guests are their own and do not necessarily reflect the view of AI and Faith or any of its leadership.Production: Pablo Salmones and Penny YuenSpeakers: Rabbi Dr. Harris Bor and Dr. Marina ZilbergertsEditing: Isabelle BraconnotMusic from #UppbeatLicense code: 1ZHLF7FMCNHU39
