Predictability of real-world risk manifestation prior to adoption
Determine whether the theoretical mental health risks from prolonged human–chatbot interactions can be predicted or known prior to widespread general population adoption, and if possible, construct methodologies to estimate their manifestation in advance.

The degree to which these theoretical risks will manifest is not known, and may potentially be unknowable prior to widespread general population adoption.
