Sustained Human-AI Relationships Could Offer Connection But Also Raise Complex Questions
- There is an asymmetry in "one-off" AI interactions that lack continuity and contextual depth compared to human relationships
- More sustained, contextually rich human-AI relationships may be possible as AI advances, offering companionship and support
- Personal AI systems residing locally could enable richer, more intimate interactions and give users more control
- Superintelligent AI that surpasses human cognition may create a profound asymmetry and new opportunities
- We can advocate for AI designs that support continuity to balance asymmetry while being aware of the broader implications
