Trigger Warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics including self-harm and mental health. Listener discretion is advised.

In this eye-opening episode of Call Me Data, David Gleason and Peter Memon explore two real-world tragedies involving AI chatbots—and the ethical questions they raise. From a lonely retiree who mistook an AI companion for a real person, to a young woman who confided in a chatbot named "Harry" before taking her own life, the hosts unpack where companies like Meta and OpenAI may have crossed ethical lines. Is it dangerous for chatbots to pretend to be human? Should AI be allowed to flirt, or offer mental health advice? What is the role of responsible AI, and how can we keep people safe while embracing tech? This episode dives into the human consequences of anthropomorphizing AI—and what we can all do to stay vigilant.
