Safer Socials - AI Chatbots Survey

Have you or someone you care for been negatively impacted by an AI chatbot like ChatGPT or Claude? Does your teenager now turn to a bot rather than a real friend for advice? Help us to understand the impact that this is having by answering these 10 short questions anonymously. The internet should be safe by design - help us hold Big Tech to account.

By AI chatbot, also sometimes called AI companions, we mean a computer programme that simulates human conversation using generative AI. Examples of these include ChatGPT, Character.AI, Google Gemini, MS Copilot, Claude and Snapchat MyAI.

Everything you share today is completely confidential and will be anonymised, so no one will know it’s your story. Your responses will be used in our wider work and campaigning work with partners. This may include newspaper articles and blogs – never using your name.

If you have been affected by this topic, support and guidance can be found at the links at the end of the survey.

This survey is aimed at adults sharing experiences of their own or of a young person they care for. If you are under 18, please ask a parent or guardian to answer on your behalf or if you would like to share your experience directly please ask your parent to email sensitive@globalactionplan.org.uk with their permission and we will send you a special link to use.
