Powerful Communication Podcast
Business
Replika - with a ‘K’ is an artificial intelligence tool, delivered via an app which claims to offer companionship.
Marketing for the platform promises Replika is ‘always ready to chat when you need an empathetic friend’.
It’s not much more than a chatbot - you see an animated image of a person and interact by talking into your phone.
But what’s it doing with all the information it picks up from conversations you have with it, is your data safe and what about the conversations themselves…are they always going to be appropriate ?
Well the makers believe it’s only suitable for users 17 years and over but of course some younger users may try to set up profiles and there are serious questions being asked about whether forming an emotional connection with what basically amounts to an algorithm is healthy.
Be sure to read the small print and treat these AI bots with the same caution you would anything else on line.
