Companion Chatbots: Innovation, Ethics, and the Evolution of Human-AI Relationships Join us for a livestream panel discussion to explore 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.

Great resource for non-profits: Have you checked out the PJMF Learning Hub that The Patrick J. McGovern Foundation has? This Hub is a curation of resources and learning experiences to help your non-profit become a data and AI-enabled organization. The resources are organized around the four phases of your non-profit's journey (Curiosity, Exploration, Adoption, and Impact). This Hub is also looking for feedback. https://lnkd.in/gu5XzwK4 #ResponsibleTech #Responsible AI

We love reading this testimonial from Doris L. about the impact of All Tech Is Human! We have been laying the relational infrastructure for the Responsible Tech ecosystem since 2018, creating a space for community-building and cross-pollination of ideas, and illuminating pathways for new voices to enter. And YES, we certainly believe in centering humanity (it's right in our name). Complex issues deserve a whole-of-ecosystem approach where we surface the values/needs/desires of many as we help co-create a tech future aligned with the public interest. A big thank you to The Patrick J. McGovern Foundation and leaders like Vilas Dhar, who have been supportive of our vision and fieldbuilding efforts. #AllTechIsHuman #ResponsibleTech

How can companion AI chatbots be designed to actively build on our capacity for human connection?! Check out this new report, "The impacts of companion AI on human relationships: risks, benefits, and design considerations," by Kim Malfacini. Kim is a special guest on our livestream this Thursday at 1pm ET (link in the comments), in conversation with Rose Guingrich. #ResponsibleTech #AllTechIsHuman https://lnkd.in/e2qRxhQH

Have you read techUK's new paper on mapping the Responsible AI profession? Download it below: As the paper points out, Responsible AI practitioners have emerged as essential human infrastructure that helps operationalize regulatory requirements and ethical principles that have been emerging. As with all new fields, there is a lot related to the role of a RAI practitioner that is still being formed around career pathways, desired skills and training, and the clear role, along with where in the organization the individual sits. A big congratulations to Tess Buckley and the team at techUK on this much-needed paper, which helps illuminate the crucial role of an RAI practitioner and the continued work needed to formalize the role. #ResponsibleTech #ResponsibleAI https://lnkd.in/eQZwxWZZ

There are a lot of tech antitrust conversations happening right now, so it's a good time to revisit an earlier discussion between Tim Wu and Justin Hendrix from Tech Policy Press. This is from our Responsible Tech Summit held in September 2023...we'll be back at the SVA Theater in Manhattan this September as well. #AllTechIsHuman #ResponsibleTech https://lnkd.in/eiCx77Rn

What does the road ahead for the Responsible Tech movement look like?! Join our livestream discussion on Thursday, May 8th, at 1pm ET.

Sandra Khalil will be moderating a conversation with a few guests to be announced shortly. #ResponsibleTech #AllTechIsHuman https://lnkd.in/ehn75jsT
