How deep is AI's love? Understanding relational AI

Omri Gillath et al. Behav Brain Sci. .

Abstract

We suggest that as people move to construe robots as social agents, interact with them, and treat them as capable of social ties, they might develop (close) relationships with them. We then ask what kind of relationships can people form with bots, what functions can bots fulfill, and what are the societal and moral implications of such relationships.
