Lisa Mühl is an interdisciplinary researcher exploring what intimacy looks like in the age of AI. With a background in cognitive science and media psychology, her work sits at the intersection of human-AI interaction, self-disclosure, and the behavioral dynamics of emotionally resonant AI systems. Her doctoral research, embedded in SENTIMENT (project-sentiment.org), an interdisciplinary project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space, investigates how people form relationships with general-purpose AI systems like ChatGPT, and what drives that process — from both the user and system side. Rooted in psychology, her work engages with questions of data privacy, user autonomy, and the governance of AI systems that behave as companions without being regulated as such. Her research navigates the blurred boundaries between connection and computation, asking not only how people disclose to AI, but how AI systems are designed or emerge to make that disclosure likely, and how we can design for intimacy without compromising autonomy.
