KFI Live with Heather Brooker
Rebuilding Altadena, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast & the Rise of AI Families
KFI Live with Heather Brooker (08/16) - On this episode of KFI LIVE with Heather Brooker, we look at an innovative way to help Eaton Fire survivors get back home. Altadena Brick by Brick is launching its “Bust a Move” initiative, relocating houses that would otherwise be demolished onto fire-cleared lots. The plan could potentially save families hundreds of thousands of dollars compared with rebuilding from scratch. Then, Christina Rose Hall, who plays Mrs. Potts in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast North American tour, joins Heather to talk about bringing the beloved musical back to Southern California and performing one of Disney’s most iconic songs. Plus, people are creating entire AI families including romantic partners, children and even AI parents. Heather takes a closer look at why people are forming these relationships with chatbots, what researchers are learning about AI companionship, and where things start to get a little weird.
