Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. What happens when the people who understand us best aren't people at all?Social robots and companion AI are no longer science fiction. They listen without judgment, remember everything, adapt to our moods, and are always available. They are being designed to care, to comfort, and to connect.But at what cost?In _From Human Connection to Human Replacement_, Emmanuel Ankia Gha pulls back the curtain on the rise of affective computing and asks the question we've been avoiding: If we build machines to replace the warmth of human relationships, do we risk losing what makes us human?This book explores the ethical risks hiding behind the promise of progress. From loneliness and emotional dependency to bias, manipulation, and the erosion of empathy, Gha examines how companion AI could reshape love, friendship, caregiving, and society itself.It's not a call to stop innovation. It's a call to keep it in check. Because progress without guardrails isn't progress. It's replacement.This book maps the ethical terrain of affective computing. Gha asks hard questions about what we gain and what we lose when we outsource connection to code.Inside you'll explore: - The loneliness economy: How companion AI is marketed as the cure for isolation, and why it may deepen it instead- Emotional dependency: What happens to resilience, empathy, and human relationships when our primary confidant is an algorithm- Bias and manipulation: How data-driven "care" can reinforce stereotypes, exploit vulnerability, and nudge behavior without consent - Care and labor: The impact on nurses, teachers, therapists, and families as robots enter roles once defined by human presence- Identity and meaning: If a robot can love us back, do we still know what love is?Gha doesn't argue for halting innovation. He argues for intentional innovation. The goal isn't to reject social robots, but to set boundaries, regulations, and cultural norms that keep humans at the center.Drawing on research in psychology, ethics, robotics, and real-world case studies, this book offers a framework for evaluating companion AI. Not just "can we build it?" but "should we?" and "under what conditions?" This item is printed on demand.
