Laika 13 is an AI teenager raised solely on social media. Her personality, ideals, and opinions are 100% shaped by the content and climate of popular digital platforms. Laika 13 was developed by a team of AI-specialists, a neuroscientist, and a psychology professor. She was designed to reflect a typical Swedish child, then trained on popular social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat.
Laika 13 is part of the Swedish insurance company Länsförsäkringar’s social sustainability work aimed at preventing harm to young people. The project aims to provide insight into how the increasing use of social platforms may affect our children in the long term. It allows us to identify risk factors and prevent harm before it happens, for example by using the Laika tool in mental health education in schools.
However, Laika 13 is not available to everyone. For ethical reasons, only researchers, educators, and journalists can request to chat with her. Despite being an AI, Laika 13 may exhibit controversial or harmful opinions spread on the platforms. Therefore, Länsförsäkringar and the parties involved distance themselves from Laika’s views and values.
