AI and Mental Health — The good, the bad, and the ugly.
In 2023, a Belgian man committed suicide after chatting with an AI chatbot. In October 2024, a Florida mom sued an AI chat platform, which she blames for her teenage son’s suicide.
As AI is increasingly used in healthcare and by patients for a wide range of uses from diagnosis to mental health support, it also raises ethical questions about these technological interventions. Researchers caution against use of AI in mental health without appropriate safeguards and have proposed policies to address privacy protection, bias mitigation, and self-harm prevention.
To discuss this critical topic, we have invited Romina Torres, Professor of Engineering and Science at Adolfo Ibañez University, Chile and collaborator researcher at the National Chilean Center for AI to our monthly AI Experts webinar on Thursday, January 30th at 11a ET.
