The Importance of Understanding Artificial Intimacy
Rob Brooks is the author of a new book about artificial intimacy. He was inspired by evolutionary theory that says even parents who love each other don't necessarily have completely aligned interests and exploit each other through mating. It took him five or six years to get people to buy his book because it was so heavy, he said. But now Rob has been vindicated in some ways as things are starting to come into focus for AI researchers around the world.
