In this episode of Better Thinking, Nesh Nikolic speaks with Rob Brooks about the profound impact of Artificial Intelligence on reshaping human sexual perspectives and interactions and how it revolutionizes our understanding in the realm of human sexuality.

Rob Brooks, a Scientia Professor of Evolution at UNSW Sydney. He both founded and directed from 2007 to 2019 the Evolution and Ecology Research Centre. His research mostly considers the conflicting evolutionary interests that make sex sizzle and render reproduction complicated.

He has won Australia’s most prestigious award for science communication, the Eureka Prize, and is the author of Sex, Genes and Rock ’n’ Roll: How evolution has shaped the modern world, which won the Queensland Literary Award for Science Writing.

He has also written Artificial Intimacy: Virtual friends, digital lovers and algorithmic matchmakers which is the basis of todays conversation. This book considers humanity’s evolved capacities for friendship, love, and intimacy, and what happens when they encounter new technologies like AI, social media, online dating, and virtual reality sex.
