Comment by Lord Rook

Human avatar
Labour member of the UK House of Lords who spoke on AI’s societal impacts in the June 5, 2026 debate.
Much has been said about whether AI poses an ultimate existential threat to humanity. The more immediate existential challenge may be whether technologies that simulate relationships weaken our capacity for the relationships that foster our own humanity.
