As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into everyday life, it is essential to critically assess its impact on human relationships, particularly in the areas of communication, empathy, trust, and intimacy. This research offers a qualitative analysis of how AI influences interpersonal connections, weighing both its advantages and drawbacks. Through a review of existing literature and case studies, the study examines how AI-mediated interactions affect communication, empathy, trust, and intimacy in both personal and professional settings. The findings suggest that while AI can improve connectivity and accessibility, it also presents challenges such as increased dependency, social isolation, and diminished emotional intelligence. To mitigate these issues, the study advocates for the development of AI systems that prioritize emotional intelligence, foster authentic interactions, and adhere to ethical design principles. This approach will help ensure AI technologies support the formation of healthy and balanced relationships in our increasingly digital world.
