Anthropomorphisierung: Warum Maschinen nichts wollen. Und: Ex-Meta-Forscherin Anneke Buffone
Summary
Svea Eckert und Eva Wolfangel discuss anthropomorphization in AI, arguing that human-like language shifts responsibility from tech companies to the products themselves. They explore psychological experiments and the history of chatbots to explain why people attribute will to software. The episode features Annike Buffone, a former Meta researcher and social psychologist, who shares her experience testifying in court against her former employer. She details how Meta’s algorithms and design choices harm children and explains why internal research on these issues was often suppressed.
