We're pleased to have contributed to this recent article in @Nature! As the use of AI shifts toward longer-term, persistent interactions that look like interpersonal relationships, we're thinking deeply about which values we want at the forefront when new tools are built.
Why do human–AI relationships need socioaffective alignment? As AI evolves from tools to companions, we must seek systems that enhance rather than exploit our nature as social & emotional beings. Published today in @Nature Humanities & Social Sciences! nature.com/articles/s41599-0…
Recently, Meedanis exchanged ideas with colleagues from throughout the world at @journalismfest’s International Journalism Festival (#ijf25) and @UN_CSW’s #CSW69. Revisit some of the highlights with us.

NEW EPISODE | Imagine living through a crisis—natural disaster, election, or coup—and being able to fact-check rumors with just a text message. @edbice of @meedan is making that possible. But @Meta's move to cut fact-checking threatens this vital work. tinyurl.com/37ufkaad
Meta’s decision to shutter fact-checking carries serious implications for Meedan and the many @factchecknet partner organizations we work with around the world. Read our full statement here: ow.ly/Yci550UCaVi
