Abstract
Susan Ariel Aaronson and Michael MorenoDevelopers struggle to incorporate responsible AI into their practice and products, for several reasons. In this paper, we examine whether four major AI developers — OpenAI, Google, xAI and DeepSeek — act responsibly when developing and deploying chatbots. We focus on a key element of AI responsibility: user rights and welfare.
