Douglas Rushkoff is joined by MIT professor, psychologist, and author Sherry Turkle for an intimate conversation about artificial intelligence, the illusion of machine empathy, and what it means to be human. Drawing on her latest book, Artificial Intimacy, Turkle explores how AI companions, digital immortality, and synthetic relationships threaten to replace genuine human connection with technological simulations. Together, they examine Silicon Valley’s obsession with transcending mortality, the psychological importance of grief, and the erosion of our capacity for conversation, reading, and empathy. Ultimately, they ask whether our growing dependence on artificial intelligence is helping us live more fully - or teaching us to abandon the very experiences that make life worth living.
