Anthropomorphic AI and emergent vulnerabilities: An empirically informed legal evaluation of the protection of users of AI chatbots
Mia Liinason, Karen Louise Grova Søilen and Sue Anne Teo present their RJ-funded research project.
About the project The project explores the risks of manipulation and exploitation of human vulnerabilities by anthropomorphic AI chatbots. The project focuses on how legal frameworks can protect users against these risks and will develop a novel conceptual framework of intimacy capitalism, by exmining the business model oriented around the intimacy economy, its impact upon individuals and the lack of legal vocabularies to address the effects of this new phenomena.
