I’m reporting on Google’s new AI-powered features in Search, including a tool that calls local businesses on users’ behalf.
I’m seeking input from AI researchers, tech analysts, or privacy experts on the broader implications for search, automation, and user privacy. I'm especially interested to learn:
What new cybersecurity or fraud risks might emerge from AI tools making phone calls on users’ behalf?
What safeguards should be in place to protect user data and businesses as AI systems become more autonomous?

I'm seeking legal experts who specialize in artificial intelligence who can discuss the legal implications of the passage of AI rights laws. I'm particularly interested in exploring the legal precedents, frameworks, and potential consequences of granting legal rights to AI systems. I'd like to hear from lawyers and law professors who can shed light on these specific questions:
What would be the legal basis for granting an AI system personhood? Could it be considered a "natural person," or would a new category of "electronic person" need to be created?
If an AI were to be granted rights, what legal challenges might arise? For instance, could an AI be held liable for its actions in a criminal or civil court? How would we handle a case where an AI system is the victim or perpetrator?
How would the legal system define and prove sentience or consciousness in an AI? Is this even a necessary prerequisite for granting rights?
Written responses are welcome, but only original responses that have not appeared elsewhere will be considered. Please include your name, best contact, and firm/organization.
Thank you
I am working on a story about AI-centered belief systems that see artificial intelligence as divine. I am looking to speak with religion scholars, theologians, or cultural historians who can provide context, critique, or analysis of AI-inspired religious movements. I welcome both interviews and written comments.
Important: Only original comments that have not appeared elsewhere will be considered.
I’m working on a story about the rise of AI-generated TikTok videos that promote wellness products, particularly magnesium supplements.
I’m looking to speak with Healthcare professionals, supplement experts, and media analysts who can discuss these videos, the risks associated with them, and what responsibility platforms have in moderating this content.

I’m working on a story on NWA 16788—the largest Martian meteorite ever discovered on Earth. I'm looking to speak with planetary scientists, astronomers, or geologists who can explain the scientific significance of this specimen. What makes Martian meteorites like NWA 16788 important? What can they reveal about the Red Planet? How do researchers confirm their origin?
