Better interventions: AI chatbots must not be the new social media
Part of the Data Centric AI series
Are AI chatbots destined to become the new social media? Or can we design them better from the start?
The harms we witnessed during the social media era weren’t just caused by technology—they were driven by intentional design choices, poor data practices, and a lack of transparency that left users in the dark. Let’s not repeat history!
Instead of retrofitting safety after the damage is done, we have a unique window of opportunity to build accountability, data portability, and researcher access right into consumer chatbots from day one.
Join our panel of experts to explore how we can effectively investigate AI for systemic risks and implement early oversight.
