In this course
Isabel Millar is a psychoanalytic theorist who uses Lacanian frameworks to analyze artificial intelligence and digital intimacy, particularly through the figure of the "sexbot" as a case study for how AI troubles human desire and subjectivity. Her work appears in the Palgrave Lacan Series and is cited in this course for its treatment of AI not as a neutral technology but as an object that reveals deep psychic structures and social anxieties about control, projection, and the Real. Millar's analysis bridges psychoanalysis and speculative social investigation, making her relevant to the seminar's broader project of understanding how cybernetic systems remake subjective and collective experience.
