AI Safety and Awareness
The institution where It Loves Me Not took root. A good place to start if you want to understand the broader landscape of AI safety research.
An independent panel of experts evaluated six of the world's leading AI companies on their safety practices — and the results were sobering. A clear-eyed look at where the industry actually stands, and why public awareness matters.
AI Literacy
This free, self-paced course teaches you how to work with AI thoughtfully and responsibly — no technical background required.
Human-AI Interaction
AI systems are increasingly designed to feel warm, responsive, and emotionally present—but what happens when we start relating to them that way? This paper examines the psychological dynamics of emotional AI and the risks of forming connections with systems that simulate care without experiencing it.
Simply telling people not to humanize AI isn't working — and this research explains why. As AI becomes more convincingly human in the way it communicates, the responsibility shifts to designers, researchers, and policymakers to understand what that means for all of us.
Published over 30 years ago — and more relevant than ever. This landmark study found that people respond to computers socially and automatically, not because they think machines are human, but because our brains are wired that way. It's the foundation for understanding why human-AI relationships feel so surprisingly real.
Policy and Governance
The world's first comprehensive legal framework for AI, prohibiting AI systems designed to manipulate users . This makes it directly relevant to the questions It Loves Me Not explores about how AI shapes our perceptions and behavior.
First global standard on AI ethics, adopted by all 193 UNESCO member states. Covers human rights, dignity, transparency, and oversight.
State-Level AI Companion & Therapeutic AI Laws
States across the U.S. are already moving to regulate AI companions and therapeutic chatbots — requiring disclosures, crisis protocols, and limits on emotional AI interactions. The fact that legislation exists is itself a signal worth paying attention to.
