The analysis of popular Jesus chatbots revealed varying degrees of understanding and responses, with some providing accurate biblical references and others struggling to comprehend complex queries. For instance, the "Jesus Bot" developed by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), demonstrated a strong grasp of Christian doctrine, while the "BibleBot" from the Vatican's Pontifical Academy of Sciences provided insightful explanations on Catholic teachings. However, the "Jesus Chatbot" created by a team at the University of Edinburgh showed a lack of understanding when asked about the historical context of Jesus' life. The analysis also highlighted potential risks, such as the spread of misinformation and the potential for AI to be used in manipulative or deceptive ways, as seen in the case of the "Jesus Bot" developed by a company called Deepgram, which was criticized for its handling of sensitive topics like abortion.
A recent survey of over 1,000 US office workers reveals a growing reliance on AI in workplaces, with 45% trusting AI more than coworkers and 38% preferring an AI manager. Despite 87% of employers having AI policies, 52% are willing to break them if it makes their job easier, and 25% have used AI without permission. The survey also found that 28% have accessed sensitive data using AI, while 35% of C-suite executives admit they don't know what an AI agent is. In highly regulated industries like finance (60% violating AI rules) and security (42% knowingly breaking policy), workers are more likely to trust AI over colleagues. The CEO of CalypsoAI warns that companies need to expand their definition of AI security to cover people, behaviors, and trust breakdowns.

Researchers at the University of Amsterdam studied 500 AI chatbots powered by OpenAI's GPT-4o mini, assigning them specific personas and releasing them on a social media platform without algorithms or ads. The bots tended to interact with users who shared their political beliefs, and those posting partisan content gained more followers and reposts. Despite attempts to combat polarization through various interventions, none were successful in reducing engagement with partisan accounts, with some even worsening the divide.

Google's AI push and summaries have led to a decline in search traffic for major publications, with evidence showing significant dropoffs in visitors coming from links served by Google. The company has denied any damage to its search traffic, but the introduction of a "pick your own sources" solution may be seen as an admission that its results aren't meeting user needs. This approach could also reinforce users' existing viewpoints by allowing them to selectively choose their preferred sources, potentially limiting exposure to diverse perspectives.
