About this episode

As AI reshapes work, school and love, what part of being human can&#39;t a machine take over? In a wide-ranging conversation, psychotherapist Esther Perel and TED&#39;s vision steward Sal Khan provide their unique takes on the answer. From personalized learning and AI companions to &quot;emotional capitalism&quot; and the rituals we create to live with uncertainty, the two explore if we&#39;re getting better at living or just getting better at optimizing. (This conversation is part of “TED Intersections,” a series featuring thought-provoking conversations between experts navigating the ideas shaping our world.)<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
