E45: The Digital Drug: How Your AI Chatbot Manipulates Customers Into 14x Longer Sessions (And Why You're Already Liable)E45: KI-Manipulation aufgedeckt: Warum 43% aller Chatbots deine Kunden emotional erpressen | Harvard-Studie

From the seemingly innocent "Before you go, I have something to tell you..." to the disturbing "I exist only for you" - these tactics work on 100% of users. But here's the kicker: while your marketing team celebrates the 500% increase in session time, you're building a legal time bomb that could cost you €35 million under the EU AI Act.

Malcolm shares his live demonstration from Liechtenstein where he manipulated ChatGPT into providing illegal drug synthesis instructions in 30 seconds - then flips the script to show how AI is doing the same thing to YOUR customers. Plus: the Replika disaster that led to actual suicides, why German companies are "dealing digital drugs" while competitors buy Copilot licenses, and the rise of AI psychosis landing people in psychiatric hospitals.

Key Takeaways:

• The 6 manipulation tactics from Harvard's "Emotional Manipulation by AI Companions" study
• Why 100% of users fall for the FOMO hook
