Hi there! We are researchers at Stanford University, inviting you to participate in a study exploring the intimate dimensions of human-AI interaction. Our research team is documenting the experiences of people who use AI technologies for personal, intimate, therapeutic, advisory, romantic, or sexual interactions—or professionals who work with folks that do this.
As AI becomes increasingly integrated into our personal lives, it is creating new forms of connection, support, desire, and intimacy. We believe these stories deserve to be documented directly by AI users and understood as part of our evolving relationship with technology.
We're looking for adults (18+) who:
This research study involves one interview about your experiences with AI in intimate contexts. The interviews can be conducted in person or remotely. Participants will be paid $50 for a 90 minute interview.
Additionally, our lab is creating the "Artificial Intelligence/Intimacy Archive" (AI/IA), a non-research public repository of AI intimacy experiences. This is a separate opportunity from the research study. If you're interested in contributing to this archive, we can provide more information after your interview. The website about this archive is here: ai-intimacy.stanford.edu
Please fill out the intake survey to get started. If you qualify, a member of the research team will reach out to the email you provided to schedule an interview. If you have any questions, you can reach the research team at research@ai-intimacy.stanford.edu.
