The Psychoanalysis of Artificial Intelligence w/ Isabel Millar

Psychoanalytic theorist Isabel Millar explains the role psychoanalysis can play in helping us to understand what artificial intelligence means for humanity, what modern science fiction reveals about our fascination with sex-robots, and what is driving a desire to replicate human attributes in silicon.

Her book The Psychoanalysis of Artificial Intelligence was published with the Palgrave Lacan Series in 2021.

Isabel has recently been a psychoanalytic script consultant for BBC Drama and interviewed for a book by Ai-Da Robot, the world's first AI artist.
