As AI technology advances, incidents like hostile chatbots, biased facial recognition, and privacy violations highlight the urgent need for responsible innovation. Research reveals that the next generation of engineers, responsible for creating these technologies, often feel unprepared and uncertain about the unintended consequences of their work. Despite recognizing potential dangers, they lack guidance on how to design AI systems that respect users’ autonomy, privacy, and dignity. To ensure AI companions that are trustworthy and beneficial, we need to empower engineers with the skills and knowledge to create systems that prioritize user well-being, safety, and transparency, ultimately benefiting society as a whole.
