Important discussions today at #CySoc2026 around one of the most rapidly evolving questions in AI and society: Human–AI Relationships: Risks, Rewards, and Responsibilities. Our panel session explored how AI companions and conversational agents are beginning to shape emotional support, trust, vulnerability, well-being, and online interactions, along with the societal and ethical challenges that emerge with them. Very much thanks to our panelists and attendees for the productive and fruitful and interdisciplinary discussions. #ICWSM2026 #AIandSociety #HumanAI #SocialComputing #GenerativeAI @angelhwang6 @zhangyt0704 @gvrkiran @icwsm
