Experts say AI 'companions' will revolutionize relationships, but could become 'default connection' for people

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already providing significant benefit to people searching for love, negotiating a business deal and struggling with depression.

However, according to experts, an over reliance on the technology could cause a "devaluation" of human connection and lead to diminishing authenticity.

Rijul Gupta, CEO and co-founder of DeepMedia, told Fox News Digital that as AI continues to evolve, the technology has the potential to enrich social interactions, deliver companionship, and provide support in areas like child-rearing and elder care.
