Ask a Matchmaker

How Can You Fall In Love With Your AI Companion? ft Vasant Dhar, Ph.D

18 Nov 2025

Description

Maria sits down with NYU professor and AI pioneer Vasant Dhar for a grounded, eye-opening conversation about how artificial intelligence is reshaping our lives! They break down the rise of AI companions, the risks of sharing personal information with chatbots, and why these systems can feel human while still lacking empathy. Maria and Professor Dhar explore how modern AI "knows a little about everything" and what that means for dating, decision-making, and emotional attachment in 2025. They also dive into how kids and adults alike should be learning to "think with machines," not rely on them as a crutch. It's a fascinating, practical guide to navigating love, relationships, and identity in the age of AI. Be sure to pick up  Professor Vasant's book today!
