Spring 2026 | Community Learning Series FREE Hybrid Event

As the use of artificial intelligence (AI) expands to digital companionship, art and film, and even therapy, how do we know what’s real?
While AI has the ability to deliver breakthroughs in medical diagnostics, ease tasks, and provide personalized education, it comes with increasing anxiety about this powerful tool. Pew Research (2023) suggests that 52% of Americans report feeling more concerned than excited about AI. Beyond fears of job displacement and the breaking of ethical boundaries, there are deep concerns about the blurring of lines between genuine interpersonal communication and machine fabricated interactions. The proliferation of AI therapists adds another layer of complexity. While providing accessible, low-cost support, experts warn of a fake intimacy that can lead to unhealthy results. Join us for a discussion of the benefits that AI can offer and the detriments it may bring, including the erosion of meaningful human connection.
This is a&nbsp;hybrid event. Participants may attend in-person at BGSP (1581 Beacon Street, Brookline, MA) or via Zoom.
Presenter: Todd Essig, Ph.D.&nbsp; Discussant: Stephen Soldz, Ph.D.
