Description
Artificial intelligence not only changes our working world but increasingly also our relationships. What does it mean when machines become conversation partners, confidants, or emotional companions? And how does this development alter our understanding of closeness, care, and humanity?
In his new book Hello, how are you feeling today? Christoph Koch explores why people form emotional relationships with AI systems and what consequences this new form of digital closeness has for our coexistence. Using current research, personal experiences, and compelling stories, he sheds light on the opportunities and risks of a technology that is no longer just informative but increasingly perceived as a counterpart. An evening that is both entertaining and thought-provoking about empathy, loneliness, and the future of human relationships. Christoph Koch is a journalist and author. He has been dealing with the societal impacts of digital technologies and artificial intelligence for many years.
