Reclaiming connection in the age of AI
A workshop on loneliness, artificial intimacy, and the future of our relationships
AI is learning to listen, to comfort, even to care. As technology enters our most intimate spaces, the question is no longer if but how it will shape our relationships — to ourselves, each other, and our work.
The World Health Organization has named loneliness a global epidemic. Now, AI has entered the picture: a friend, a therapist, a companion, a close confidant. Younger generations are forming emotional bonds with chatbots, while companies build business models on extracting intimacy itself.
This isn’t just about technology. It’s about what we are willing to outsource, what we long for, and what we risk losing. In this 90-minute workshop, Monika Jiang, founder of The Oneliness Project, invites you to reflect, move, and engage in dialogue on the future of human connection.
Together we’ll explore:
- Why loneliness matters — not just personally, but structurally
- The rise of “artificial intimacy” and its promises and dangers
- What practices can help us rebuild meaningful relationships in our lives and workplaces
Join us — with or without your AI companion — to reflect, move, and reimagine what real connection feels like!
