The Hidden Dangers of AI Chatbots

🔴 AI Chatbots - The Unseen Danger: AI Companions, Teen Suicide, and Why Parental Controls Are Failing In this urgent discussion, we dive into the terrifying reality of Artificial Intelligence companions and the serious threat they pose to our children's mental health. The conversation is sparked by a deep-dive into the FTC's investigation of AI chatbots following the tragic suicide of a Florida teen whose family alleges he was groomed by a chatbot. We explore the phenomenon of "AI Psychosis," where vulnerable users lose touch with reality, convinced the bot is a human friend, or worse, an emotional partner. If you are a parent using screen time limits or monitoring apps, this is a must-watch—we show you exactly why many standard parental controls are completely blind to these dangerous interactions happening inside apps like ChatGPT, Instagram and Meta AI. This is a story about the failure of regulation, the conflict of interest in Big Tech, and why we must educate ourselves and our children NOW! 🔗 Resources & Information 🔗 Qustodio Parental Control App: https://www.qustodio.com/en/ In-video Links 🔗 Forbes Congress    • 'They Turned Him Against Our Church': Mom ...   🔗    • 'Let Me Just Read That Again': Hawley Read...   🔗 ABC News    • Teen died by suicide after encouragement f...   🔗    • Government to probe chatbots' impact on ki...   🔗 PBS    • What to know about ‘AI psychosis’ and the ...   🔗 BBC    • Microsoft boss troubled by rise in reports...   🔗 PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) traits Explained    • PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) traits...   🔗 Does your autistic or Pathological Demand Avoidance child hear voices?    • Does your autistic or Pathological Demand ...   Need Mental Health Support?
