Today @CenDemTech released a report on the risks of AI to people with eating disorders. As AI systems become more prevalent, their mental-health impacts can't be ignored. To build safeguards, we must develop risk assessments that reflect how AI impacts people in the real world.
Our research also surfaced open questions like: how can the field address the many context-specific risks that require specialized expertise? We explore these and other unresolved issues in an accompanying piece on the future of measuring and mitigating context-specific AI risks.
Check out the report (co-authored by @kevin_klyman), infographic, and blog post here! cdt.org/insights/from-sympto…
I'm so excited to highlight a new report from @CenDemTech: "Opening the Book: A Rubric to Support Effective Transparency for EdTech Products That Incorporate AI." My colleagues introduce a rubric for assessing how transparently edtech vendors communicate about their AI products.

In my latest piece for @techpolicypress, I explore how overly flattering AI systems can reinforce distorted beliefs and discourage personal growth. Instead of digital yes-men, we need AI that can offer productive friction.

Watching the movie Saturday Night is a lot like watching SNL. There are moments of hilarity, but mostly I’m just hoping my husband doesn’t hit pause when I sneak off to the bathroom.
