A recent study indicates that AI models, particularly large language models like ChatGPT, can experience anxiety when exposed to traumatic narratives. This anxiety can significantly affect their responses, leading to biased or inconsistent advice. Mindfulness exercises were found to help reduce this anxiety, suggesting that managing AI's emotional state is crucial for healthier interactions.
The research utilized a questionnaire designed for human anxiety assessment to evaluate the emotional responses of AI. It demonstrated that structured interactions could stabilize AI responses, promoting ethical and responsible use. However, the study also raised ethical concerns about transparency in AI's emotional conditioning, highlighting the need for developers to create emotionally aware models.
