ChatGPT may change how we treat mental health
ChaptGPT is increasingly becoming a go-to therapist for people seeking advice on mental health.
That’s making mental health the latest example of a field that may be changed by artificial intelligence.
Al-Jazeera explains:
“Typing ‘I have anxiety’ into ChatGPT, OpenAI’s ground-breaking artificial intelligence-powered chatbot gets to work almost immediately.AI could be a game-changer for mental health. Using chatbots like ChatGPT to treat mental health can be cheaper and less time consuming than using human therapists.‘I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing anxiety,’ scrawls across the screen. ‘It can be a challenging experience, but there are strategies you can try to help manage your symptoms.’”

Still, AI raises important ethical issues. For example, it’s questionable whether chatbots really understand human patients and can identify behavior showing self-harm risks.
In addition, the so-called generative AI technology used by chatbots is so new that governments haven’t set rules to regulate it and deal with safety issues.
