Long-Term Simulation Exposes Cognitive-Developmental Risks in AI Companions
Researchers propose TSJ, a longitudinal evaluation framework that tests AI companions for developmental risks in children and adolescents through simulated long-term interactions. The study reveals that standard short-session safety tests significantly underestimate risks, with stable risk detection requiring at least 140 interaction turns across multiple developmental stages and vulnerability profiles.
