Advances in artificial intelligence have resulted in objects that behave and sound like humans and exude a more human feel. Therefore, the relationships between humans and technology have evolved, becoming more personal and complex. Some AI is harmful to humans due to the nature of the human relationship with it. We explore examples ranging from chatbots to AI romantic partners. While humans must better protect themselves emotionally, tech companies must create design solutions as well as be transparent about profit motives to address the growing basket of harms. We propose solutions including alignment with AI principles that promote well-being, prevent exploitation, and acknowledge the importance of human relationships.
