Public Affairs Conference 2023 - Virtual Plenary Speaker Diego Senior: The Very Real Implications of AI chatbots and Mental Health
- Date and time
- 12:15 PM - 1:15 PM, September 27, 2023
- Description
Mr. Senior and his team followed the lives and stories of several users of a GPT-driven chatbot app called Replika for more than two years. Users of this app can create their own AI chatbots that offer "companionship." Their capabilities, albeit rudimentary, do open the user's imagination in the creation of this chatbot's personality. He also explored the evolution of the technology that allowed for these relationships to not only exist within the app, but also flourish. Senior interviewed various experts, developers as well to address all the problems that AI driven chatbots can create for people who actually need companionship and true mental health help (addiction, gamification, disassociation, amongst others).
