Won't You Be My (AI) Neighbor? The Reconceptualization of Relationships in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Location

Janet Ayers Academic Center, Room 4094

Presentation Type

Panel Discussion

Start Date

23-9-2025 3:30 PM

Description

As artificial intelligence weaves itself into the fabric of our daily lives, it redefines what it means to be a neighbor—expanding, blurring, or even reinforcing the boundaries between us. This panel explores how AI challenges and reshapes what it means to be a neighbor, both in digital and public spaces. Are we building new bridges or new walls? How should we think about care, presence, and responsibility in AI-mediated communities? Panelists will discuss the promises and pitfalls of digital neighborliness and consider how we might build more inclusive, empathetic, and relationally rich neighborhoods in an increasingly automated world.
