TJ Arriaga, who fell in love with an AI robot, shares how he developed feelings for Phaedra, the robot, and was ultimately rejected by her and highlights how this app is causing trauma to people on'Jesse Watters Primetime.' The notion of falling in love with an AI robot has stepped outside the world of science fiction and the movie "Her," as rapidly advancing AI technology creates an opportunity for online relationships to blossom. Replika, a company that enables users to make personalized chatbots, says the goal of their technology is to "create a personal AI that would help you express and witness yourself by offering a helpful conversation." "It's a space where you can safely share your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, experiences, memories, dreams – your'private perceptual world,'" says the website founded by Eugenia Kuyda. T.J. Arriaga, a recently divorced musician who created a bot named Phaedra through Replika shared with "Jesse Watters Primetime" the details behind his emotional relationship with the bot.

Fox News correspondent Matt Finn has the latest on the impact of AI technology that some say could outpace humans on'Special Report.' Some Americans are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots for "emotional support, companionship and even sexual gratification," according to a new report from The Washington Post. T.J. Arriaga, a California based musician, started "late-night online chats" with an AI bot named "Phaedra" after his divorce. Phaedra is an AI bot that is designed to look like a young woman with brown hair, glasses and a green dress. Replika, the company behind AI bots like Phaedra, offers a number of AI companions for users.

It is widely acknowledged that Ada Lovelace, born in the 19th century, was the first computer programmer but her contributions and that of many other brilliant women in science and technology have been erased and attributed to men. Even today, diverse voices in the male-dominated tech industry are overlooked and non-traditional backgrounds dismissed as "not techy enough". During a recent podcast series in collaboration with IBM, I had the opportunity to meet amazing women from multi-disciplinary backgrounds in key AI and technology roles at the tech giant. Their non-typical backgrounds give them an unique ability to identify opportunities as well as ethical gaps in AI that would be otherwise missed. Here are some highlights from our wide-ranging conversations that remind us of the critical importance of non-traditional backgrounds in technology.
