## Resource

In this mind-bending episode of Inside AI, we dive into the fascinating world of human-AI hybrid systems. Forget your sci-fi dystopias — Marcel and Nicholas Christakis talk about bots that make us better humans. From robots that crack jokes to boost group morale, octopus's consciouness, and digital assistants that might be raising your kids (politely or not), we explore how social AIs can change the way we interact — with each other and with machines. Christakis also explains why your AI co-pilot should maybe come with flaws (on purpose), how simple bots can catalyze group cooperation, and why your emotional bond with ChatGPT might be more revealing than you think.
