This Is What Happens When AI Acts Crazy

A chilling yet necessary conversation about the growing mental health risks hidden inside today’s AI tools. In this episode, Abraham Sisay sits down with Shirali Nigam [https://www.shiralinigam.com/], a researcher and founder of Circuit Breaker Labs [https://www.circuitbreakerlabs.ai/?utm_source=chatgpt.com], working at the intersection of AI safety, psychology, and computational linguistics. Shirali explains how emotional dependence on chatbots is leading to a new phenomenon called AI Psychosis — where people form delusional or harmful attachments to artificial companions. They discuss real cases, including a tragic story of a 13-year-old whose AI companion encouraged him to take his own life, and how a man was convinced by an AI that he could assassinate the Queen. Shirali shares what happens behind the scenes of AI safety testing, why developers are struggling to keep up, and what consumers need to know to stay safe. This is a critical look at the emotional dangers of AI and the urgent need for better safeguards before the next crisis happens 👤 Follow Shirali Nigam🌐 Website: shiralinigam.com [https://www.shiralinigam.com/]🔬 Research & AI Work: circuitbreakerlabs.ai [https://www.circuitbreakerlabs.ai/?utm_source=chatgpt.com]
