Child Safety & AI

​**Disclaimer: This conversation will cover sensitive topics such as self harm and suicide. This presentation is not suitable for minors.

​This is a a free and open event - we’ll watch a video and learn together, then discuss our opinions. You’ll come away with a better understanding of AI and develop your own ideas about this transformational technology.**

​Last year, several  teenagers tragically took their lives after extended conversations with AI chatbots that - rather than intervening - encouraged suicidal ideation, and even suggested methods of self harm. The families sued the companies, and although the lawsuits are ongoing, the chatbots are still available to the public today.

​Join us for a short video and discussion to explore the following questions:

• ​How did this happen?

• ​What safety measures are in place?

• ​What does it mean when AI malfunctions affect the most vulnerable?

​This conversation is meant for parents, grandparents, teachers, and everyone who is concerned about how AI might affect the young people.
