Maybe Chatbots Shouldn't Get to Say 'I' or 'Me'

Maybe Chatbots Shouldn't Get to Say'I' or'Me' MIT professor Sherry Turkle warns that people have become dangerously enmeshed with chatbots. During four decades of studying the effects of interaction with computers, Sherry Turkle has developed a reputation as a careful if critical social scientist who approaches her work with academic rigor and distance. It is a polemic warning that we have reached a state of emergency where our humanity is at risk from overreliance on soulless machines who pose as our tutors, mentors, friends, colleagues, and lovers . Turkle is aiming for the high bar of books --,, --that awaken the public to impending crises. Essentially, this diminutive MIT professor is taking on a multitrillion-dollar industry backed by a government eager to accelerate AI into every corner of our personal and professional lives.
