Science of Community Dialogue - AI Boundaries: Refusal and Privacy
This online meeting will take place on October 17th, 2025 from 12pm to 2pm CT. The presenters are Professor Jasmine McNealy (University of Florida) and Hsuen-Chi (Hazel) Chiu (Purdue University).

This talk explores how companion chatbots invite deep emotional disclosure while raising concerns about data privacy—and how some communities are pushing back through AI refusal. Drawing on user interviews and privacy theory, it offers insights for designing emotionally intelligent AI that respects boundaries. Together, these perspectives offer a critical lens on designing emotionally resonant yet ethically responsible AI companions, and on the broader cultural implications of choosing not to engage at all.
