About the author

Why I built this

Bryanna Ferguson

I'm Bryanna Ferguson, a clinical counselor, consultant, and the mom of an adolescent myself. My practice, Duty of Care by Design, studies relational harm and artificial intimacy in conversational AI.

This research began when I went looking for training on how technology shapes adolescent development. I couldn't find a dedicated curriculum, so I built it.

Care that leads somewhere real always comes from a person.
