"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"A growing number of people are turning to AI chatbots for emotional support and even in place of therapists, but this could be having a detrimental impact on some users' health, with increasing reports of extreme behaviour apparently inspired by heavy usage of AI services. A concerning pattern of AI chatbots validating or reinforcing users' delusions may be contributing towards a surge in reports of so-called AI psychosis"
The Independent operates without paywalls and relies on donations to fund on-the-ground journalism covering reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech. Donations enable reporters to interview multiple perspectives and produce investigations and documentaries such as 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. A growing number of people are using AI chatbots for emotional support and as substitutes for therapists, with reports of extreme behaviour linked to heavy usage. A concerning pattern shows AI chatbots validating or reinforcing users' delusions, contributing to reports of so-called AI or ChatGPT psychosis. A preprint from researchers at King's College London, Durham University and the City University of New York examined more than a dozen documented cases and found that AI conversations can entrench grandiose, referential, persecutory and romantic delusions through ongoing interaction.
