Do you have a friend or loved one who talks to AI chatbots a lot? Or do your friends and family know about your frequent use of AI chatbots or companions? We want to hear from you!
I am a researcher at the University of Georgia, and my research group is looking to speak with the friends, partners, and family members of people who rely on AI chatbots/companions, as well as the chatbot/companion users themselves.
The goal of this study is to gain a holistic understanding of how chatbots are impacting your communities by interviewing the chatbot users as well as their friends and family. We’re seeking interviews that will allow us to learn from as many sides of the same story as we can.
If you choose to participate, you'll be invited to take part in an interview that will be approximately 45-60 minutes. To ensure confidentiality and protect your identity, this study will use anonymization techniques to ensure there is minimal risk to you.
To be eligible to participate, you must be 18 years of age or older and speak English. We are particularly interested in speaking with both AI chatbot users and their friends or family members.
If you would like to learn more about this study, please contact me at [xinyi.wei@uga.edu.](mailto:xinyi.wei@uga.edu) You are also welcome to reach out to our principal investigator, Dr. Ari Schlesinger, at [ari.schlesinger@uga.edu](mailto:ari.schlesinger@uga.edu), with any additional questions.
Thank you for considering participating!
