Can You Be Friends With an AI?

Описание: What does it mean to build a relationship with a machine?

In this conversation, artist Stephanie Dinkins reflects on more than a decade of working with artificial intelligence—long before AI became a cultural obsession. From her early encounters with Bina48, a humanoid robot modeled after a real person, to her ongoing experiments with building AI from family stories and small, intimate datasets, Dinkins invites us into a quieter, more human conversation about technology.

Rather than asking whether AI will replace us, this discussion explores deeper questions:

– What are we teaching intelligent systems about humanity?
– How do bias, history, and power get embedded into data?
– Can care, generosity, and responsibility be designed—or nurtured—into machines?
– And what happens to art and creativity in a world where machines can learn?

This episode is not about fear or hype. It’s about responsibility, relationship, and the future we are already shaping—often without realizing it.

🎧 Topics include:
• AI and bias
• Bina48 and humanoid robots
• Art, data, and storytelling
• Creativity in the age of artificial intelligence
• Ethics, care, and machine learning
