We're pleased to have contributed to this recent article in @Nature! As the use of AI shifts toward longer-term, persistent interactions that look like interpersonal relationships, we're thinking deeply about which values we want at the forefront when new tools are built.

[Hannah Rose Kirk @hannahrosekirk]

Why do human–AI relationships need socioaffective alignment? As AI evolves from tools to companions, we must seek systems that enhance rather than exploit our nature as social & emotional beings. Published today in @Nature Humanities & Social Sciences! https://t.co/y92riRuvDF

NEW EPISODE | Imagine living through a crisis—natural disaster, election, or coup—and being able to fact-check rumors with just a text message. @edbice of @meedan is making that possible. But @Meta's move to cut fact-checking threatens this vital work. https://t.co/PlobmNtywT

[Meedan @meedan]

Meta’s decision to shutter fact-checking carries serious implications for Meedan and the many @factchecknet partner organizations we work with around the world. Read our full statement here: https://t.co/9lE5virpfY

Women Human rights defenders in #WesternSahara say enough: "It's time to break the silence and start a dialogue in our community so that #Morocco no longer has the power to shame us."
