🛡 The Risk of 'Inferential Childhood' due to AI
Dr. Jorge Pereira Campos describes the threat of the emergence of an "inferential childhood." Modern AI companions use children's personal conversations to build permanent personality models, depriving them of the ability to make mistakes without long-term consequences.
🌍 This requires the implementation of "forgetting" mechanisms and the creation of "friction" in AI design instead of simple sycophancy.
👤 AI assistants create a digital imprint of your personality, making past mistakes a permanent part of your profile.
