When chatbots become our closest “friends,” what happens to our capacity to care?  This week I'm joined by Professor Sherry Turkle. Sherry is a licensed clinical psychologist, the founding director of MIT's Initiative on Technology and Self, and the Abby Rockefeller Mauzé Professor of the Social Studies of Science and Technology at MIT. She's a the New York Times bestselling author of multiple books including Alone Together, Reclaiming Conversation, and The Empathy Diaries.  Her latest book, Artificial Intimacy: Who We Become When We Talk to Machines, comes out on September 29. In it, Turkle explores how conversational chatbots have changed the ways we relate to other humans, empathize with each other, and what that could mean for our future. “The progression is: First we talk to each other, then we talk to each other through machines, and now we drop the middleman and we're happy to just talk to machines,” she said in our conversation.  We get into what happens when people stop placing importance on emotionally connecting with other people, and whether it's too late to pull back from the path we're on.

Sherry Turkle is one of the most influential voices in the study of how humans relate to technology, and this conversation with her covers new ground on that subject. Turkle is the Abby Rockefeller Mauzé Professor of the Social Studies of Science and Technology at MIT, founding director of the MIT Initiative on Technology and Self, and a licensed clinical psychologist. For nearly five decades, beginning with the earliest days of personal computing, she has studied the psychological and social consequences of the machines people build and the relationships people form with them. Her earlier books, including The Second Self, Alone Together, and Reclaiming Conversation, have shaped how a generation of researchers, technologists, and leaders think about digital life — and Alone Together, published over fifteen years ago, anticipated with striking accuracy a future in which people would come to see robots and machines as companions worthy of real emotional investment. That future has arrived. Turkle’s newest book, Artificial Intimacy: Who We Become When We Talk to Machines, examines what happens when AI chatbots move beyond productivity tools and begin positioning themselves as friends, romantic partners, and therapists — always available, endlessly patient, and asking nothing in return. Her concern is not that these systems are unconvincing, but that they are convincing enough: that people are beginning to accept the performance of empathy as a substitute for empathy itself, with consequences for solitude, intimacy, and the capacity for genuine human connection. The conversation traces Turkle’s intellectual journey from her early predictions to the present moment, explores what is fundamentally different about AI compared to the technologies she has studied before, and presses into the distinction between authentic care and its convincing imitation. It moves into the workplace, examining what happens to human agency, purpose, and mastery when AI absorbs more of the thinking and communicating people once did themselves — and what is at stake when the relationship between a manager and the people who report to them, long understood as one of the most powerful drivers of well-being, becomes a task AI is asked to perform rather than a bond a human being chooses to show up for. The discussion also turns a critical eye toward the technology industry itself, questioning predictions from prominent tech leaders about AI companionship and probing the well-documented pattern of executives who limit their own children’s exposure to the very technologies they build. It closes with a forward-looking question: what must be protected, deliberately and urgently, to ensure AI serves humanity rather than the reverse. The post Sherry Turkle: What AI Can’t Give Us at Work appeared first on Mark C. Crowley.

Chains of Command: The Rise and Cruel Reign of the Franchise Economy (University of Chicago Press, 2026) is a surprising look at the big business of owning small businesses and what America's franchise economy means for its workers. Walk into a McDonald's anywhere in the United States, and it will be identical to every other McDonald's in the country. Yet, that particular store is almost certainly owned and operated by an "independent" franchisee. While McDonald's presents an image of centralized uniformity to the consumer, it shows a different face to the small business owners operating its stores under its control and the workers preparing its product to its standards. How then does McDonald's—and its big business peers—manage to be two things at once? In this revelatory work, economist Brian Callaci shows how franchisors have altered the legal treatment of corporations in their favor through a decades-long crusade of lobbying and litigation. Their efforts subsequently unleashed a slew of legal and economic sins upon the US economy and labor force, allowing multinational corporations to control continent-spanning empires while outsourcing employment and scapegoating legal responsibilities onto small businesses. The result: the unfettered growth of some of America's most recognizable businesses, at the aggregate expense of America's workers. Remarkable in both its scale and synthesis, Callaci's story is the first chronicle of this business movement—initially resisted by US courts before experiencing a dramatic reversal of fortune after decades of campaigning by some of America's most established entrepreneurs. An urgent and erudite history, Chains of Command reveals how the US labor market was tamed one small business at a time. Brian Callaci is Campaigns Director at the Strategic Organizing Center, and previously served as Chief Economist at the Open Markets Institute. He researches and writes about market structure, antitrust law, and their relationship to worker and employer power. Anna Olteanu is a senior in the College of Social Studies at Wesleyan University, where she focuses on intellectual history. Her interests include political ecology, the history of economic thought, and literary criticism. Learn more about your ad choices.

In Democracy in Power: A History of Electrification in the United States (University of Chicago Press, 2024), Sandeep Vaheesan recounts the rather overlooked story of how electricity spread across the U.S. economy during the 20th century. This book sheds careful light on the varied institutions and interests mediating the process, including investor-owned utilities and the rural electric cooperative. Vaheesan does not hesitate to critique the successes and failures cropping up along the way; rather, he lays them all bare in service of paving an actionable path toward the decarbonization and democratization of power. Sandeep Vaheesan is the legal director at the Open Markets Institute. He leads their legal research and advocacy, including the amicus program. He has written and spoken widely on antimonopoly law and policy and building a fair economy. Previously, he worked at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and American Antitrust Institute.

In the early nineteenth century, the French naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck proposed the first evolutionary theory of life and, with it, a new science: biology. Yet for centuries, evolutionary theorists have endeavored to discredit Lamarck and his theory of self-transforming organisms, rejecting the idea that animals play an active role in shaping their own evolution. In his lifetime, he was mocked by his adversaries and personally insulted by Napoleon. In this virtuosic melding of biography, history, politics, and science, Jessica Riskin sets out to correct the record. Riskin tells the story of Lamarck's life and work as an intense struggle between rival forces to answer questions that remain foundational to our modern worldview: What is a living being, and what is science? New findings suggest Lamarck's basic claim was, in many ways, right, and a reconsideration of his life and work is long overdue. Denying the agency of living beings has informed two centuries of eugenic policies and environmental destruction, allowing people to regard the living world as so much raw material to shape and exploit for economic, industrial, and imperial gain. Deeply researched, strikingly original, and beautifully written, ⁠The Power of Life: The Invention of Biology and the Revolutionary Science of Jean-Baptiste Lamarck⁠ (Penguin, 2026) shines a much-needed light on an underappreciated biologist whose radical ideas offered a more inclusive, collaborative, and enlightened approach to science. ⁠Jessica Riskin⁠ is the Frances and Charles Field Professor of History at Stanford University, where she teaches modern European history and the history of science. She is the author of The Restless Clock and Science in the Age of Sensibility and is a regular contributor to a number of publications, including Aeon, the Los Angeles Review of Books, and the New York Review of Books. She lives in Berkeley, California. ⁠Anna Olteanu⁠ is a senior in the College of Social Studies at Wesleyan University, where she focuses on intellectual history.
