I will stay with Dr. Leavy. I am looking at her background of philosophy and social science and wondering whether she has asked the big questions to AI. We might leave that for another day.

What is her take in relation to her social science background?

Is enough research ongoing regarding the effects of AI on our social interactions, relationships and self-esteem? Many of us now use AI to draft our emails or text messages. Looking at the space where our teenagers are, AI is generating videos or images that make our lives look wonderful, where images are altered to look physically better. What is Dr. Leavy's take on the effects of AI on relationships, interactions and self-esteem?
