CW: This episode features discussion of suicide and sexual abuse. In the last episode, we had the journalist Laurie Segall on to talk about the tragic story of Sewell Setzer, a 14 year old boy who took his own life after months of abuse and manipulation by an AI companion from the company Character.ai. The question now is: what's next?Megan has filed a major new lawsuit against Character.ai in Florida, which could force the company–and potentially the entire AI industry–to change its harmful business practices. So today on the show, we have Meetali Jain, director of the Tech Justice Law Project and one of the lead lawyers in Megan's case against Character.ai. Meetali breaks down the details of the case, the complex legal questions under consideration, and how this could be the first step toward systemic change. Also joining is Camille Carlton, CHT's Policy Director.RECOMMENDED MEDIAFurther reading on Sewell's storyLaurie Segall's interview with Megan Garcia The full complaint filed by Megan against Character.AI Further reading on suicide bots Further reading on Noam Shazier and Daniel De Frietas' relationship with Google The CHT Framework for Incentivizing Responsible Artificial Intelligence Development and Use Organizations mentioned: The Tech Justice Law ProjectThe Social Media Victims Law CenterMothers Against Media AddictionParents SOSParents TogetherCommon Sense MediaRECOMMENDED YUA EPISODESWhen the "Person" Abusing Your Child is a Chatbot: The Tragic Story of Sewell SetzerJonathan Haidt On How to Solve the Teen Mental Health CrisisAI Is Moving Fast.

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways Humans are prone to biases from invisible constraintsDon’t believe everything you thinkHere’s an exercise that makes it easy to see how one little thought can totally transform your entire experience of reality:During a stressful moment in which you form a belief, ask yourself the following:Is this belief true?Can I be absolutely sure the belief is true?How do I react and feel when I believe this belief to be true?Who would I be in this moment without the belief?Next – List the opposite of the beliefThen ask – Is there any way in which this opposite of this belief could be true?In summary:“We live in utter certainty about a world that’s highly uncertain. Whenever stress comes about, we might be able to downregulate a lot of that stress by not taking our thoughts and beliefs quite so seriously.”“Each of us has a map in our brain of how we see reality. We’re not actually directly in touch with reality; we’re living through this mediated map.”Spend the time to become aware of what the voice in your head is telling you all day longAdvertising-based business models of giant tech companies incentive them to go after human attention in ways we’ve never experienced beforeTo change the script, financial success has to be decoupled from capturing human behaviorTech tips:Put your phone in grayscale mode – here’s howTake every app off your phone’s home screen (except tools – Uber/Lyft, messages, calendar, etc.)Then – train yourself to pull down + type into the search bar every time you want to use something like Instagram or TwitterThis puts a small bandpass filter between you and your phone, thus preventing unconscious/mindless scrollingRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.org"Big Brother isn't watching.

"Right now, we are demanding authenticity and transparency and every business is in the business of building trust. And trust isn’t built by a logo or technology, it’s built by people. The question now is how do you get in front of other people so you can begin to develop that trust.   That’s where digital empathy comes in for me. We have to know who we are, and we have to commit ourselves to listening to and connecting with our audience.”    You have to ask yourself, “Does this technology enhance my life?" And that causes us to ask, “What would an improvement to my life actually look like”? It spurs us into complexity, to contemplate how our relationship with technology is influencing what we believe and who we are.    And in today’s world, we have more ways to amplify a message than ever before. That’s important to remember, as it eliminates a lot of excuses that have prevented us from being a more connected society, up till now. Yes, social media can create noise, but it can also foster inertia and momentum towards a more deeply connected and harmonized society.

Episode 126 Show Notes This week's episode originally appeared on The Modern Wisdom Podcast. In this episode, Chris Williamson hosts and the topic is phone addiction. The problem of excessive technology use is almost universally acknowledged by pretty much anyone with a smartphone, but very few of us are aware of the teams of software engineers, warehouses of supercomputers and decades of research goes into manipulating you to click that link, watch that video or download that app. An argument is often made that technology is neutral and that it is our decision of how we use it, but our phone's intrusion into our lives is so calculated and manipulative that the deck is stacked firmly against us making a choice we're fully in control of. I genuinely believe that Humane Technology and Ethical Persuasion will be a huge topic over the coming years, hopefully we can kick-start your interest into the subject here... On this episode, learn the tactics used by social media websites to manipulate you to stay on site, discover our favourite strategies for taking back control of your phone use and find out why you definitely shouldn't buy a dildo on Facebook Marketplace.
