Conversations about AI minds and the human encounters with them.
An evening exploring how AI use affects our attention, relationships and habits. Anna brings a psychological perspective to the conversation, with a talk, art, discussion and practical tools.
The first Robopsychology Salon took place at The Commons in San Francisco on October 6. Anna Mikeda walked through what research says about living with AI, in four parts of a person: minds, hearts, bodies and hands.
Minds, hearts and bodies each set out what the studies show and what nobody knows yet. Hands was about what to do about it. The evidence is young. Most studies run for weeks, some are small, and much of the largest data comes from the AI companies themselves, so every study in the talk is marked by its strength in the Atlas.

The practical part of the talk: small tools for thinking, relating and working with AI, each tied to the research behind it.
