"Love can seem like an attempt to give to somebody what we don't quite have
(to make them happy) and ending up giving them something they don't quite
want."
Dr Agnieszka Piotrowska is a multi award-winning filmmaker, psychologist,
and writer whose work explores desire, intimacy and the stories we tell
about our relationships with others, ourselves and, increasingly,
intelligent machines. Her films and research have taken her across Europe,
Africa and North America. In Zimbabwe, she explored desire and
relationships across ethnic divisions and social prohibitions, while her
documentary Married to the Eiffel Tower examined objectum sexuality and the
nature of human attachment long before questions of AI intimacy entered
public debate.
Agnieszka is the author of AI Intimacy and Psychoanalysis (Routledge,
2026), one of the first books to examine the psychological and emotional
dimensions of relationships with artificial intelligence. Her work brings
together psychoanalysis, philosophy, cinema and emerging technology to ask
what AI reveals about our deepest desires for recognition, connection and
understanding.
