Striving to be Human in the Age of AI with Dr. Sherry Turkle

MIT professor Sherry Turkle is a renowned pioneer in the study of human-computer relationships, a specialist in how technology changes us psychologically and socially, and a powerful advocate for using technology wisely and thoughtfully with both children and adults. The author of many acclaimed bestselling books, Turkle will visit via Zoom to introduce her new book, Artificial Intimacy: Who We Become When We Talk to Machines, and to discuss how to maintain our humanity while navigating the AI Revolution. Regular book program participants will remember Turkle’s wonderful virtual visit for her previous book, Empathy Diaries. We are excited to welcome her back!
