Today we're chatting with Dr. Julie Carpenter about AI and its role in our relationships.
Dr. Julie Carpenter is a social scientist who studies how people relate to AI in its many forms, and how these interactions inform evolving ideas about self, identity, agency, and connection. Her research investigates the stories people construct around artificial beings and how those narratives influence the design and deployment of real-world AI. She is an external research fellow with the Ethics + Emerging Sciences Group at California Polytechnic State University and the author of The Naked Android: Synthetic Socialness and the Human Gaze, which unpacks how culture influences our expectations of robots, and why that matters.
