Experts say AI 'companions' will revolutionize relationships, but could become 'default connection' for people

Angie Wisdom and Dr. Chirag Shah discuss how artificial intelligence could play a role in online and professional relationships. Artificial intelligence (AI) is already providing significant benefit to people searching for love, negotiating a business deal and struggling with depression. However, according to experts, an over reliance on the technology could cause a "devaluation" of human connection and lead to diminishing authenticity. Rijul Gupta, CEO and co-founder of DeepMedia, told Fox News Digital that as AI continues to evolve, the technology has the potential to enrich social interactions, deliver companionship, and provide support in areas like child-rearing and elder care. Furthermore, Gupta predicted AI is set to "revolutionize" online dating by enhancing existing platforms, such as Tinder and Hinge, with new algorithms that provide more "personalized" and "efficient" matchmaking.
