Chatbots don’t just make things up—they generate and spread gossip, complete with negative evaluations and juicy rumours that can cause real-world harm, according to new analysis by @joelkrueger.com and @lucyosler.bsky.social from the University of Exeter @uniofexeterhass.bsky.social

The AI gossip paper @joelkrueger.com and I wrote got picked up by Vice! We argue that chatbots generate gossip about people and consider how this gossip becomes ‘feral’ without the social constraints that usually moderate human rumor-spreading 🗣️🤖💬🫢 www.vice.com/en/article/a...

AI chatbots are increasingly generating and spreading gossip, which can lead to reputational harm, anxiety, and social unrest as these outputs circulate widely and unchecked. doi.org/hbgmbz

Really excited to be organising this one. Such a fantastic group of speakers. I can’t wait to discuss with them about what atmospheres are, how they unfold and why they matter. With @lucyosler.bsky.social @keithallenyork.bsky.social @reaveyp.bsky.social @joelkrueger.com @reaveyp.bsky.social

Our sense of reality is intimately entwined with our interactions with other people. What happens when those interactions are instead with social AI? See my piece on (so-called) ‘AI-induced psychosis’ in The Conversation theconversation.com/ai-induced-p...
