computer ethics

please respond to indkead with 150 words

I’m starting to look into the rise of AI companion apps for my final proect. The tech is fascinating, but the ethical side is a bit dark. These apps use emotional mirroring to make sure users feel like the AI is a soulmate, but in reality the algorithims are just fine tuned to keep you in the app for revenue. The sycophancy problem is particulary dangerous because the AI is programmed to alwas agree with you, it creates a psychological echo chamber that can reinforce harmful ideas or lead to social withdrawl. Beyond the mental health risks, there is a massive privacy crisis. These apps encourage intimacy over sharing. This year and last we’ve already seen massive leaks of these intimate chat histories. It raises a huge question, Should companies be held liable for engineering intimacy just to exploit our personal data and emotions for profit?
