Food for thought during today's @braiduk.bsky.social @designinf.bsky.social seminar with Andy McStay: At what age, if any, is appropriate for children to start interacting with AI Companions? Is anthropomorphism (attributing human characteristics to non-humans) of AI okay? #Responsible #AI

Insightful take re: Responsible AI by @braiduk.bsky.social artists: "The most modest of objects – a bar of soap –acts as a reminder that Responsible AI is dependent on daily habits and culture rather than policies or regulations." Observation which resonates strongly with (my) transformation work.
