Book Description
A trailblazing inquiry into human love and relationships in the age of super-smart technology
Technology is our new life partner. No longer confined to the sidelines, new interactive technologies like AI therapists, avatar friends, and robot assistants are ready to transform technology’s role from basic tools of convenience to intimate elements of our social and emotional lives. This turn
towards human-like technology signals the beginning of a new epoch in human history, a change already facing both excitement and resistance.
Blending science, sociology, history, and psychology, Relationships 5.0 asks how recent technological developments cause us to think differently about our family lives, love affairs, and emotional needs. It argues that we are currently living through a technological paradigm shift similar in
magnitude to the preceding agricultural, industrial, and informational revolutions in human history. Thanks to the convergence of the cognitive revolution (AI), the sensorial revolution (VR and AR), and the physical revolution (robots), technology can now fulfill emotional, intellectual, and
physical needs that have until now been met by 作者: other humans.
While many are still wary of human-technology companionship, Relationships 5.0 reveals that these novel interactions aren’t as risky as we’d once thought, but can instead make our social and emotional lives richer and more diverse. Still, we must ask: What will the age of Relationships 5.0 look
like? How should we prepare for such an age? Who might already be ready to embrace these changes, and why?
Guiding readers away from fear and toward a new reality, Relationships 5.0 exposes the fundamental questions behind such essentials as companionship, trust, and love–and offers fascinating and revealing ideas about what the coming years will look like.
