Ai Salon: Authenticity [SF]
AI is transforming our relationship with authenticity. Humans are using AI to express themselves on social media platforms, rewrite their resumes and even craft messages on dating apps. How will this technology impact our understanding of what is genuine, original, and truly human?
This conversation will explore how AI is redefining authenticity - in our creative expressions, our social interactions, our relationships, and our inner lives. Join to discuss:
The rise of AI in dating apps - examining the implications when people use AI to craft profiles and messages that don't reflect their true selves
AI agents and digital twins - when your AI representation speaks for you, is it truly authentic? How do we create faithful digital extensions of ourselves?
The already inauthentic landscape of professional networking on platforms like LinkedIn, now further complicated by AI-generated content
The authenticity gap in how AI companies present their technology - unpacking "safety washing" and media spin that obscures truth.
As AI accelerates, we must constantly ask ourselves how we want to live alongside this new technology, and how authenticity can play a role in our desired experience.
