Speaker argues that AI is increasingly used for therapy and coaching, and notes that AI gaining memory/context (digital-twin–style persistence) makes virtual companionship a near-term reality to watch in 2025. The clip frames these advances as both opportunities and risks, emphasizing the rapid shift from a distant possibility to present-day use.

You're starting to see people turn to AI for therapy. You're starting to see people turn to AI for coaching. You're starting to see AI have memory, so it has context to the people that it is interacting with. And it obviously presents opportunity and risk, just like all of it. I think as this technology gets more powerful, as the digital twins technology takes hold, this is going to be a real thing to keep an eye on in 2025 in terms of virtual companionship, which is something that seemed so far away 10 years ago and is now right here and already being used.
