Amelia Miller is a researcher, designer, and writer focused on how technology shapes human connection.
She recently earned her MSc from the Oxford Internet Institute, where her research examined how artificial intimacy developers think about the future of human-A.I. connection (see findings in her NYT Sunday Opinion cover essay, "We're All Polyamorous Now. It's You, Me, and the A.I.”). Last spring, Amelia also launched Superfancy, an advisory practice and group workshop series where she helps people and companies design healthier human-A.I. interactions (see AI, Advice, & The Self workshop here).
Previously, Amelia was a Vice President at Insight Partners, a leading technology investment firm, where she helped build the fund’s AI governance practice. She graduated summa cum laude with a BA in Social Theory and Computer Science from Harvard. Her senior thesis, Harvard Women Don’t Come: Pleasure Equality and Why Smart Women Settle for Less, explored why highly educated, progressive women tolerate vast pleasure gaps in their intimate relationships. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Financial Times, Bloomberg, The Free Press, The Guardian, and others.
In her free time, Amelia enjoys producing theater. As a BKC fellow, Amelia will focus on expanding her artificial intimacy literacy work through workshops and public media. Her goal is to translate her research into broadly accessible resources that can help people ensure that their relationships with machines do not erode their capacity to connect with real people.
