Join the Community Data Science Collective (CDSC) for our 12 Science of Community Dialogue!

This dialogue will take place on October 17 at 12pm CT and will explore how companion chatbots invite deep emotional disclosure while raising concerns about data privacy—and how some communities are pushing back through AI refusal. Professor Jasmine McNealy (University of Florida) will be joining Hsuen-Chi (Hazel) Chiu (Purdue University) to present recent research on topics including

• Emotional disclosure in chatbot interactions
• Data privacy and AI refusal
• Designing emotionally intelligent, boundary-aware AI
• Cultural implications of opting out of AI

A full session description is on our website. Register online.
