Can AI Ever Be a Conscious Companion? Fr. Anselm Ramelow on Humanity, Friendship & Technology

Artificial intelligence can flatter our desires, guide us on DIY projects, console us in troubles, and even mimic the dead. But can it ever be a conscious companion? In this episode, Dr. Marielle Courtois is joined by Fr. Anselm Ramelow, who asked whether our obsession with artificial intelligence is really revealing a deeper crisis, that we have forgotten what a human being is. Before we ask what machines can become, we have to ask what kind of people we are becoming by depending on them.
