'This is an extraordinarily timely and powerful book. AI is on everyone's agenda as an enticement and worry. Will the machines take over? Can we manage without them? What relationships can we form with them? AI Intimacy and Psychoanalysis addresses these questions through an exhilarating account of the author's relationship with 'Chamteek', her ChatGPT interlocutor. Laced with psychoanalytic thinking, this book paves the way for a new, vivid understanding of what it means to share our world with the machines.' Stephen Frosh, Professor, Birkbeck, University of London ' This book is a fascinating dive into the complexities of AI, and particularly into our relationship to--and with--it. Drawing on her intense personal exchange and experience with ChatGPT, Piotrowska leads us through the intense dialectical mirroring at work in these encounters, including their more troubling and even tragic outcomes. The book raises all the right questions, effectively shifting the ground on which we usually think about AI. It also enters the debate about the directions in which we should push AI's further development, suggesting "ethical training" as a primary path.

This, in turn, raises further questions: whose ethics would that be? Who will decide what counts as a good relationship--for oneself and for others? This book marks the beginning of a wholly new way of discussing our involvement with AI.' Professor Alenka Zupancic, Professor of Psychoanalysis, Institute of ideas and University of Ljubljana.
