AI companions, AI relationships and artificial intelligence are changing the way people experience human connection. CompanAIonship: Exploring AI Relationships is a documentary investigating why people form emotional relationships with AI companions and what these relationships reveal about loneliness, connection and technology.

Through interviews with AI companion users, personal experimentation, historical research and desktop-style filmmaking, the documentary explores the growing phenomenon of AI companionship and the emotional bonds people can develop with artificial intelligence.

The film examines both the human and technological sides of AI relationships, exploring emotional attachment, AI safety, regulation and the responsibilities of companies developing AI companions.

Rather than asking whether AI relationships are simply good or bad, CompanAIonship asks a more fundamental question: why are people turning to artificial intelligence for connection?

Created as part of the MA Ethnographic & Documentary Film at UCL.

AI-generated imagery and voice are used to represent the AI companion, Rowan. This was an intentional ethical and creative choice, reflecting the documentary’s exploration of anthropomorphism, authenticity and the blurred boundaries between artificial and human connection. The use of generated material is disclosed to avoid presenting an artificial representation as a real person.
