This joint lecture by COM’s Kay Coduto and Margaret Wallace examines the spectrum of connections people form with generative AI, from simple task support to relationship-like interactions.
Combining surveys and ethnographic observation, the project traces how trust, social affordances, and communication patterns shift over time. Grounded in relational development theory, it offers insight into the ways AI is redefining how people relate to both technology and each other.
