Mr. Church and Ms Keane also mentioned cyberbullying, stealing of images, blackmail and extortion. Earlier, Reuban Murray spoke about how one in three young people are now turning to AI companions. It was nice to hear Ms Keane emphasise empathy, creativity and judgment. These tools in their arsenal are too valuable to take out of human hands. That is going into a very worrying area in relation to how the bullying, blackmail and extortion can happen from these things and the information they are taking. Have the witnesses experienced any of that with approaches from people in relation to their experience with AI companions?
