The paper introduces Safety Nudges, a browser-based tool that displays lightweight, in situ flags when a conversational AI exhibits risky behavior such as hallucination or overconfidence. In a two‑week field study with 45 frequent chatbot users, participants reported that the nudges were useful, clear, and minimally disruptive, and most felt more aware of potential AI harms. However, increased awareness did not automatically translate into measurable changes in user behavior, underscoring the need for relevance, calibration, and user control in nudge design.

The study explores how children design AI chatbots and what they consider trustworthy. Using a custom chatbot-building environment, 115 learners aged 8‑18 created 119 chatbots and adjusted traits such as confidence, transparency, and formality. Findings show younger children equate trust with purpose‑fulfillment, while older children focus on transparent, calibrated design, and that students calibrate academic chatbots to be more formal and transparent than hobby ones.
