Dr Jennifer Cearns will present her talk titled: Through the Looking Glass? The Collapse of Self/Other in AI Mental Health Apps.

Dr Jennifer Cearns is a digital anthropologist, specialising in AI and algorithms in social life. Her research focuses on how people relate to one another through emerging intelligent technologies, exploring the ideological and cultural underpinnings of these new formulations of the self, personhood and kinship. She is currently conducting researching into Human-AI relations, looking at intimacy and how trust and empathy forms between humans and AIs. Her research considers romantic relationships with AI, grief and bereavement, AI and memory aids for those living with dementia, the epistmology of AI, and the role of AI in embryo selection.
