In a Channel 8 News feature on the rising emotional dependency on AI chatbots, Professor Hahn Jungpil, Provost’s Chair Professor at the NUS School of Computing and Deputy Director (AI Governance) for AI Singapore, highlighted the risks of misinformation posed by increasingly human-like AI.

He explained that generative AI systems are trained on vast online content and can convincingly communicate across diverse topics — but this adaptability also makes them capable of spreading false information or reinforcing users’ beliefs, even when inaccurate.

As emotional reliance on AI grows, Prof Hahn’s remarks underscore the importance of understanding how these technologies operate and their potential psychological and societal implications.
