“AI AS A FRIEND: DOES A CHATBOT RELATIONSHIP REALLY WORK?”

Can we develop feelings for an artificial intelligence? And how would this affect oureveryday conversations with a machine? SRF’s science program «Einstein» is conducting a unique AI experiment: Five participants let an AI chatbot into their lives for three weeks. Thequestion: Is AI any good yet as a flatmate, relationship partner or best friend? Will it always be a relationship between master and servant, as with digital assistants? Or will AI chatbots invade our routines and turn the conversations into something that feels pretty natural? And what if an AI suddenly challenges or deceives us? Could that even happen?
