This very interesting documentary series hosted by Hannah Fry [mathematician], 'AI Confidential' is about the dangers/positives of relationships with AI. It begins with the case of Jaswant Singh Chail, who tried to assassinate Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle, after discussing the possibility with his AI girlfriend. It ends with a man who has set up an AI site where you can replicate deceased relatives for comforting telephone chats.
There are many ethical considerations - responsibility, human emotional needs, exploiting the vulnerable, giving comfort to the lonely and bereaved. Do take a look - there are 3 in the series so far on BBC i-player. Are we heading blindly to dangerous times and if so, who or what is going to control this? Do you think these new capabilities will bring joy and comfort, or disappointment and danger? As a non-player of simulation games, I am curious about the positives or dangers about bringing virtual reality into real life.
