Project title: The problem of imitation in human-AI emotional relations<\/strong>
\nPrincipal investigator: d<\/strong>r Emilia Kaczmarek<\/strong>
\nFinancing: UW, IDUB POB-IV
\nProject Period: 2022-2023
\nGrant no. 501-D117-20-4004310<\/p>\n

Project goals: <\/strong>Thanks to the development of artificial intelligence, social robots, and chatbots, there are more and more devices with which people can engage in emotional relationships. Currently, these devices are not capable of reciprocating human emotions; however, they can respond in a way that seems as if they harbor feelings toward their users. This phenomenon raises the question of the moral evaluation of emotional relationships between humans and artificial intelligence entities that give their users the illusion of reciprocity. The aim of the project is to examine whether these relationships are indeed deceptive in nature and whether this issue may justify restrictions on the development of technologies designed to evoke emotions in humans. Throughout the project, a thorough analysis of the “deception” arguments raised in the debate on the ethical aspects of emotional relationships between humans and artificial intelligence will be conducted.<\/p>\n
