From Virtual Assistants to Intimate Partners (Hui Zhou)

Hui Zhou presented an ongoing project on chatbot usage and emotional attachment on July 15, 2025 at the FU Berlin – Hertie Workshop on Al Governance in China, which was organized by Joanna Bryson and Genia Kostka. The project evaluates how product features, user characteristics, and usage behavior correlate with emotional attachment, paving the way for further studies on privacy perceptions in the context of chatbots. All these chatbot-related projects will draw on an original large-scale survey conducted in Germany, the United States, China, and South Africa. The data collection is nearing completion, and a full manuscript will be available soon.
