Sex, AI and the Future of Human Intimacy

Artificial intelligence is quietly reshaping who and how we love. AI companions, humanoid robots, and immersive sex tech are no longer science fiction premises, they are products people are using right now to seek connection, comfort, and desire.

Kaamna Bhojwani, a certified sexologist and researcher whose work spans psychology, sexuality, technology, and spirituality, studies what she calls the Intimacy Economy, a new landscape where trust and emotional connection are increasingly mediated by intelligent machines. She writes the Becoming Technosexual column for Psychology Today and hosts the Sex, Tech and Spirituality podcast.

In this provocative talk, Kaamna will introduce the concept of "digisexuality" and walk through the latest innovations in sex tech, from immersive pornography to AI powered companions. She'll share emerging research on how norms around intimacy are shifting in real time.

The talk poses a genuinely open question for the audience: as intimacy on demand becomes more available, what do we stand to gain, and what might we lose?
