How We're Really Using AI, Vol. 2

from Voices of Esalen · host Esalen Institute

For this episode, we spoke with five people who are engaging with AI in deeply human ways. - One is using AI in the context of dating, helping them think through attraction and communication. - Another has built a wellness app, powered by AI, and is exploring how these kind of systems can support self-inquiry and self-care. - Another works closely with organizations—primarily nonprofits—using AI to streamline operations and reclaim time and energy for mission-driven work. - The last are two documentary filmmakers who are currently making a film about people who are dating or in love with AIs. AI has clearly graduated from its status as a speculative idea; now it’s something that’s often entangled in our lives, relationships, labor, and emotional well being. We hope these conversations simply offer a portrait of this moment.
