Google is implementing a ban on browser extensions that allow users to 'jailbreak' AI chatbots, which are designed to bypass the security measures of platforms like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Anthropic Claude, among other generative AI services.

A recent study by philosophy scholars examines the impact of AI companions, chatbots, and social robots on human relationships and happiness. The researchers argue that while these technologies can alleviate loneliness and offer support, they fall short in providing genuine understanding, emotions, and moral responsibility. This raises questions about whether technology can truly replace human connections, as it disrupts traditional notions of community, according to The Conversation Africa.
