This book asks whether artificial intelligence can ever truly understand human emotions, and whether machines can replicate the depth of human connection, through the lens of established and emerging communication theories. As AI-driven conversational agents, emotional recognition technologies, and machine learning algorithms become deeply embedded in our daily interactions, this book critically examines their impact on human relationships and asks Are we enhancing our ability to connect, or are we eroding the very essence of genuine human interaction? Bridging the gap between traditional interpersonal communication theories and cutting-edge AI advancements, it offers a compelling analysis of how technology is reshaping social presence, trust, intimacy, and even the nature of empathy itself.
