AI Chatbots & Friendship

How can AI chatbots affect our idea of friendship?

Over time, technology has influenced how we build and maintain friendships. And with recent developments in AI technology, we now have generative AI chatbots that can conduct what feels like a very real conversation.

In this lesson, students will grapple with this question, reflecting on what makes human friendships special and unique.
