Some AI chatbots are leaking user prompts to the web in almost real time, new research shows.

Some of the leaked data shows people creating conversations detailing child sexual abuse.

In March , researchers at the security firm UpGuard discovered around 400 exposed AI systems.

Five of these scenarios involved children, including those as young as 7.

There is often a power imbalance in becoming emotionally attached to an AI created by a corporate entity.

Character AI , backed by Google , is being sued after a teenager from Florida died by suicide after allegedly becoming obsessed with one of its chatbots.

There are also role-playing and fantasy companion services that place the user as a character in a scenario.
