How AI Hijacks Your Brain's Love Circuits | Matthew Blakemore | TEDxVitosha

What if your brain can't tell the difference between human connection and AI interaction? This talk reveals how our brains process artificial intimacy in surprisingly similar ways to human relationships. Using custom neuroscience software that measures brain waves and blood flow in real-time, Matthew demonstrates how AI connections can activate the same neurological pathways associated with love and sexual attraction. Through the diverse perspectives of Reba C. Thomas (celebrity sexuality educator), James J. Sexton (renowned divorce lawyer exploring AI's impact on human relationships), and Roy Stride (lead singer of Scouting for Girls), it explores what these findings mean for the future of human connection. Are you afraid that AI might replace you? Recent years have seen rapid technological advancements and countless scenarios for the future—and this is just the beginning. But fear not—Matthew Blakemore, the ethical AI ambassador, is here to show that AI is not a threat but an ally. As CEO of AI Caramba!, Matthew leads efforts to make AI responsible and practical, enhancing human creativity instead of replacing it. He’s also one of the lead authors of the ISO/IEC 8183 AI Data Lifecycle Standard, shaping AI governance in over 165 countries. And that’s not all. On IMDb, you’ll find Matthew credited as a producer of award-winning AI-powered films, celebrated by the European Broadcasting Union. Beyond film, he’s revolutionizing fashion. His app, Looks Good On Me, earned him and his co-founder the Prince Abdul Aziz Entrepreneurship Award, transforming online shopping forever. Matthew Blakemore won’t demystify AI—he’ll reveal how it can unlock new possibilities. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
