UNESCO Recommendation on the Ethics of AI PA11b: paras 125 to 130 Human-robot interaction: disclose AI interactions and allow refusal, address anthropomorphism and emotion recognition, protect children, and involve young people

States should produce guidance on how people interact with robots and how that affects human relationships, with attention to health care, care of older persons and persons with disabilities, education, children's toys, chatbots and companion robots, and to manipulation of cognitive biases; apply the same values to robots and consider neurotechnology and brain-computer interfaces; make sure people can readily recognise when they are dealing with an AI that imitates a person or animal rather than a living being, decline it, and ask for a human; raise awareness of anthropomorphisation and emotion-recognising technologies, especially with children; research long-term psychological and cognitive effects; and involve children and young people in decisions about AI affecting them.
