Watch our recent livestream panel discussion exploring the rapidly evolving world of companion chatbots. Moderated by Rose E. Guingrich, a psychology researcher who specializes in human-AI interaction, this livestream brings together voices from industry, law and policy, and academia to discuss the opportunities, challenges, and ethical questions surrounding these technologies. From development and deployment to regulation, research, and public education, our panelists will share insights across sectors and address pressing questions, including:
What roles do companion chatbots play in people’s lives? What roles should they or should they not play?
What does it mean to design companion chatbots responsibly? Are current designs ethical?
What guidelines govern companion chatbots, and what more needs to be done to ensure transparency and accountability?
Whether you’re a developer, policymaker, researcher, or just curious about AI companions, this conversation is for you. This conversation features guests Kim Malfacini (OpenAI), Sam Hiner (Young People’s Alliance), Henry Shevlin (Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence), and Rose E. Guingrich (Princeton University GradFUTURES Social Impact Fellow at All Tech Is Human).
