AI can already interpret dreams, run therapy bots, and simulate “care.” But what happens to the human in the analytic encounter when we put AI on the couch?

On April 11, Danielle Knafo, PhD will present “AI on the Couch: Staying Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence” as part of Those Who Suffer: What Existential Psychoanalysis Has to Offer Our Contemporary World, a 2‑day online conference hosted by the New School for Existential Psychoanalysis.

Drawing on her work at the intersection of psychoanalysis, technology, and creativity, Knafo will explore how AI embodies both a drive for omnipotence and a drive toward self‑destruction, show how therapy bots and AI‑driven dream analysis already work in practice, and ask what new role psychoanalysis must play if machines begin to mirror our inner lives.

If you’re a clinician, student, or simply someone wondering how to stay human as AI accelerates, please join us.
