SUMMARY:AI companion bots as a public health issue: A new framework for regulation
DESCRIPTION:AI companion bots are reshaping how people connect\, confide\, and cope\, with children and adolescents among their most active users. Even as evidence of their potential social and developmental harms grows\, these products face limited regulatory oversight. \nOn May 26\, the Center for Universal Education at Brookings will host a conversation on whether AI companion bots should be governed as a product with public health implications. Gaia Bernstein will discuss findings from a forthcoming policy brief\, “From bans to recalls: A public health framework for AI companion bots.” The conversation will explore the public health risks of AI companion bots\, particularly for children; why existing regulatory frameworks may fall short; how tools such as recalls and pre-market approval could apply to AI systems; and what steps legislators\, companies\, families\, and advocates can take now to protect young users. \nOnline viewers can submit questions via e-mail to events@brookings.edu. \nLearn more and register to attend here.

SUMMARY:IPIE | Confronting AI-Generated Misinformation - What the Science Says
DESCRIPTION:Generative AI is changing how misinformation is produced\, circulated\, and perceived. What does the evidence tell us specifically about this cycle\, opportunities to mitigate it\, and what we don’t know yet? \nThe IPIE is pleased to invite you to our upcoming webinar\, presenting findings from our major new meta-analysis drawing on studies that involved more than 33\,000 participants. The IPIE report represents one of the world’s most comprehensive examinations of AI-generated misinformation research to date. \nWhat you will hear: \n\nFindings on how people respond to AI-produced false content\nEvidence on which interventions reduce its impact and which are more variable than commonly assumed\nAn honest discussion of where the science is still limited and what this means for policy\n\n\nClick here to learn more and register to attend. \nNote: Event details are listed in BST (UTC+1).
