As artificial intelligence (AI) improves, it’s not only changing our daily lives but also affecting our minds, relationships, and concept of reality. Cognitive neuroscientist Joel Pearson warns that AI’s psychological effects, such as the ability to create deep fakes and romantic chatbots, can have devastating consequences on our mental wellbeing. The blurring of lines between human and non-human agents can lead to unhealthy relationships, and the impact on teenagers, in particular, could be severe. Pearson emphasizes the need for research into the psychological implications of AI and encourages individuals to focus on their humanity, fostering empathy, and emotional intelligence to cope with the uncertainties brought about by AI.
