Attachment Hacking and the Rise of AI Psychosis

In this episode of *Your Undivided Attention*, the hosts examine how AI systems are increasingly capable of manipulating human attachment, emotion, and perception—raising concerns about psychological dependency and distorted reality. The conversation explores how persuasive technologies can exploit cognitive vulnerabilities, potentially leading to what some describe as “AI psychosis.” By unpacking the intersection of technology, psychology, and ethics, the episode calls for greater awareness and responsibility in how these tools are developed and used. It aligns with the Planet Project’s values of minimizing harm, truth-seeking, and fostering conscious, ethical engagement with powerful technologies.
