AI is booming, and guardrails are disappearing.

In this episode, we talk with Sandra Khalil (All Tech Is Human) about what happens when artificial intimacy scales faster than accountability. From AI companion cafés to chatbots offering mental health "support," we dig into the real-world risks of systems that feel human but aren't responsible.

We cover vulnerable users, unsafe advice, product liability, the global regulation gap, and why "move fast and break things" becomes dangerous when the thing breaking is trust.

If you've ever wondered whether your chatbot is just helpful—or subtly shaping you—this one's for you.
