AI companies should equip chatbots to highlight gun safety practices and gun violence prevention tools to users.
AI companies can do an enormous amount of public good by empowering chatbots to share evidence-based information on gun safety. They should seek advice from law enforcement and gun violence prevention experts on when to highlight gun safety information to users. In training their models and in governing their behavior after release, AI companies should give greater weight to vetted or evidence-informed information about gun safety practices, firearm laws, and gun violence statistics that comes from credible sources.
