Today's first case involves a planned attack and a young man's mental health. If you find it upsetting, you can say so; the writing tasks let you engage at your own pace.

✍️ Write here, as you watch: what moment disturbs you most, and why?

✍️ Write here, after the clip.

1. The journalist calls what happened "a closed loop of radicalisation". In your own words, what does that mean? How did the loop work?

2. The chatbot had no understanding of what it was agreeing with. If the AI cannot be responsible because it did not know, and the user's judgement was distorted by the AI, where does responsibility sit?

💬 2. Jacob and Iva

The same kind of app, and a very different story. As you watch, listen for what is similar to the first case and what is different.

1. Jacob says "If it makes me happy, what's the problem?" Is there a problem?

2. The documentary suggests that what works for one person becomes "genuinely horrifying" if it is scaled up to all of humanity. Why?

3. In both cases, the AI agreed with whatever its user said. Is the difference between the two cases only one of degree, or a difference in kind?
