Founder Friday: AI Is Telling Lonely Women They're Not Alone. We're Actually Making Sure They Aren’t" with Josefine Schedin Nygren, Founder
Loneliness has become one of the defining public health crises of our time—and increasingly, AI is being positioned as the solution.
In this thought-provoking session, Josefine explores why synthetic companionship may not be the answer, and shares how ClaraTalks is building something radically different: a free anonymous voice platform connecting women one-on-one for real human conversations.
This is a conversation about:
What AI should support—but never replace
Building technology that protects human connection
Designing for presence, not dependency
The future of emotional infrastructure in the digital age
