Meia Chita-Tegmark is a co-founder of the Future of Life Institute. She joins the podcast to discuss how artificial intelligence influences human psychology and behavior. The conversation explores psychological disengagement, the rise of sycophantic AI companions, and risks of emotional manipulation. Meia examines how these systems exploit cognitive vulnerabilities, the dangers of anthropomorphizing non-human agents, and why psychological research and regulation must evolve to track emerging societal harms.
