Paula Ebner joined the ARD podcast “KI – und jetzt? (Wie wir Künstliche Intelligenz leben wollen)” to discuss romantic human–chatbot relationships and share insights from her research. The show is hosted by Simin Sadeghi (Saarländischer Rundfunk) and Aljoscha Burchardt (DFKI).
In this German-language episode, Paula outlines what current studies reveal about how and why people form intimate bonds with conversational AI, and reflects on the broader social and ethical questions that come with these interactions—privacy, emotional well-being, and the role of design in shaping expectations and experiences.
