Distinguishing Humans from Machines: Humanity in the AI Age

An Online Lecture with Prof. Yair Amichai-Hamburger

Date: January 18, 2026

Time: 7:00 PM – 7:45 PM IST

Format: Zoom Webinar

The entry of artificial intelligence into our lives represents a significant leap forward—and a critical moment of reflection.

People now consult with AI, share their thoughts and feelings with it, and some are even turning it into a kind of partner in daily life. But what does this mean for our humanity? For our relationships? For our sense of self?

In this lecture, we will explore:

• How AI is reshaping our psychology and relationships
• Ways to enjoy technology without losing what makes us human
• How to reclaim control and choice in the digital age
