Dr. Cecilia Dones

Dr. Cecilia Dones, an AI ethicist and founder of Three Standard Deviations, discusses how AI is reshaping social norms and human connections. She highlights the dangers of AI companions in meetings, emphasizing loss of consent and genuine presence. Dones also touches on the societal shift towards 'rage currency' in media, overshadowing positive AI stories.
