Impacts of AI on Human Expression and Relationship Building

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how humans communicate, create, and connect. As algorithms increasingly mediate interactions, they shape not only the content of human expression but also the dynamics of relationship building. There is a growing need for research that examines the profound implications of AI for creativity, emotional exchange, and social bonds, exploring both the opportunities it offers and the challenges it presents. Impacts of AI on Human Expression and Relationship Building critically examines how AI influences human expression and the formation of interpersonal relationships. This book offers a multidisciplinary perspective on the opportunities and challenges AI introduces in communication, creativity, and emotional interaction. Covering topics such as emotional outsourcing to AI, AI-generated avatars, and digital relationships, this book is a critical academic resource for graduate and doctoral students, as well as professionals and practitioners in artificial intelligence, communication, psychology and more.
