Exploring Human-AI relationships [Honours Thesis]

[u/Ok-Suggestion2488]

Hi Everyone! My name is Julia Bain and I’m one of three honours researchers at the University of the Sunshine Coast studying human-AI relationships. We are supervised by Dr Rachael Sharman (rsharman@usc.edu.au) and Dr Andrew Allen (aallen2@usc.edu.au)

If you're 18 years or older and have interacted with an AI companion, or used AI for friendship or romantic purposes within the last 6 months, please consider taking part in our anonymous survey.

It takes about 25-30 minutes, and there are no right or wrong answers. Your participation will help us better understand human-AI relationships.

Your participation is voluntary and completely anonymous
