The ethical frontier of artificial intelligence (AI) is expanding as humans form romantic relationships with AIs. Addressing ethical issues of AIs as invasive suitors, malicious advisers, and tools of exploitation requires new psychological research on why and how humans love machines.

    I feel psychologists aren’t really in the loop when people make decisions about AI or most of the newer tech. Sure, they ask the right questions. And all of this is a big, unanswered question. Plus how a modern society works with loneliness, skewed perspectives by social media… But does anyone really care? Isn’t all of this shaped by some tech people in Silicon Valley and a few other places? And the only question is how to attract investor money?

    And I think people really should avoid marrying commercial services. That doesn’t end well. If you want to marry an AI, make sure it is it’s own entity and not just a cloud service.
