Shavonne Wong’s talk isn’t about AI as technology. It is about us, our instincts, our attachments, and how AI is quietly replacing moments of human connection. The lecture-performance is an art experiment that explores what happens when we start turning to machines for comfort, conversation, and understanding. Everyone talks about what AI can do, but few ask what it is doing to us. Why do we treat AI like it is real, even when we know it is not? What does it mean when an algorithm starts to feel like a confidant? Through Eva, we will examine the psychology behind our interactions with AI, the ethical and emotional questions they raise, and what this shift reveals about who we are becoming in a world where the line between human and artificial connection is starting to blur.
