AI Can’t Love Anthology
AI Can’t Love seeks to be an anthology that explores how humans can nurture authentic relationships and ethical communities while living alongside increasingly agentic artificial intelligences. Rooted in ethology it hopes to argue that although AI systems can emulate affection, they cannot embody the vulnerability, reciprocity, and meaning-making that characterize genuine love.
Key Takeaway Goals
- Anthropology before technology: Understanding species-level social instincts (ethology) clarifies why AI’s procedural outputs can approximate but never instantiate love.
- Vulnerability as design constraint: Systems that mediate human connection must foreground transparency, consent, and mutual risk-sharing.
- Hope-oriented communities: Practices of prayer, common rule-making, and service anchor ethical AI use—and remind us that flourishing is measured in love, not efficiency.
- Shift from extraction to service: Sustainable AI economics prioritize relational well-being over maximal data monetization.
- Practical disciplines: Digital sabbaths, community oversight boards, and co-design workshops keep human agency at the heart of innovation.
