Season 1 | Episode 113
It's the stuff of sci-fi films. People are turning to technology to compensate for failed relationships and loneliness. Dr Phil talks to people finding romance with artificial intelligence, life-size dolls and humanoid robots.
Amid a widespread loneliness epidemic, artificial intelligence is becoming engrained in our lives and for some, in their hearts. A growing number of men and women are turning to apps to create virtual romantic partners, human-size dolls to simulate company, and robots to replicate human connection. Dr Phil meets with guests who are dabbling in those forms of alternative intimacy, and explores whether critics have valid concerns over mental health, tech-privacy rights, and a decline in marriage and families.
