How AI Companions Are Destroying Human Intimacy | Angela Ivy Leong | TEDxWest Vancouver

AIn her talk, sex & relationship therapist Angela Ivy Leong examines how AI companions are reshaping intimacy and what we risk as artificial intelligence replaces human relationships. Blending neuroscience, somatic therapy, and clinical insights, she reveals why only flesh-and-blood connection creates the nervous-system-to-nervous-system synchrony vital for mental and physical health. Angela warns that while AI can simulate love, it cannot replace the biological and psychological benefits that only real intimacy provides and offers practical steps to recognize, protect, and reclaim our uniquely human depth.
Angela Ivy Leong is a Vancouver-based licensed psychotherapist and founder of An Elegant Mind Counselling Clinic. For over a decade, she has helped thousands of individuals and couples rebuild intimacy after betrayal, disconnection, and trauma. Angela created The KISSS Method™️, a rapid-sync protocol that aligns self-awareness with sexual well-being. Her work explores how modern relationships and technology intersect with human biology and emotional healing. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx Receive SMS online on sms24.me
