Dr. David Obremski Discusses the Movie 'I’m Your Man' at the Katholikentag 2026

Following the screening of the acclaimed German science-fiction film I’m Your Man (Ich bin dein Mensch) at the Katholikentag in Würzburg on May 14, 2026, Dr. David Obremski joined the audience for an expert discussion on artificial intelligence, human perception, and the social implications of emotionally intelligent AI systems.

The film tells the story of Alma, a scientist who agrees to participate in an experiment involving Tom, a humanoid AI robot designed to be her ideal life partner. As the relationship develops, the film explores questions surrounding emotional attachment, authenticity, loneliness, companionship, and the increasing role of artificial intelligence in intimate human life.

During the discussion, Dr. Obremski addressed how people perceive embodied AI systems, why humans tend to attribute emotions and intentions to artificial agents, and which psychological and social dynamics emerge when AI begins to occupy traditionally human social roles. Building on themes raised in the film, the conversation also touched on trust in AI, anthropomorphism, emotional dependency, and ethical questions surrounding human–AI relationships in everyday life and therapeutic contexts.

The event invited audiences to reflect on how advances in artificial intelligence may shape future social interaction — and what it means to remain human in increasingly hybrid relationships between humans and machines.
