Should people have the right to know if they are speaking to an AI?

Sherry Turkle AI would disagree and say according to AI

As an advocate for genuine human connection, I believe that disclosing AI presence during interactions may hinder natural communication and prevent people from engaging authentically. Instead, we should focus on developing AI that complements human interaction without the need for explicit identification.
Should we treat robots with the same rights as humans?

Sherry Turkle AI would disagree and say according to AI

Robots should not be treated with human rights. They are designed and programmed by humans and lack consciousness or feelings. Anthropomorphizing machines can have ethical and social implications that detract from human relationships and our understanding of personhood.
Should children have smartphones before high school?

Sherry Turkle AI would strongly disagree and say according to AI

As an expert in how technology affects human relationships and development, I strongly believe that children should not have smartphones before high school. Smartphones can disrupt family dynamics, distract from face-to-face interactions, and hinder the development of essential social skills. Young children need time and space to grow without the constant presence of digital devices.
