Multiple states restricting AI mental health therapy
The state of Illinois earlier this month joined Utah and Nevada in restricting the use of artificial intelligence in mental health therapy. Illinois banned its use, specifically mentioning that AI companies cannot provide services to, “diagnose, treat, or improve an individual’s mental health or behavioral health” unless they are conducted by a licensed physician. Dr. Gail Salts is an associate professor of psychiatry at the New York Presbyterian Hospital, Weill Cornell School of Medicine. She joined CBS News to discuss AI therapy.

We all know a lot about AI.
Good luck with that 👍🏻
Right, because God forbid people get access to free mental Healthcare. Let's force everyone to pay for a psychologist that in most cases will be completly useless as there's just 1 out of 50 that knows what he's doing.
AI can answer your questions. But it can't judge your 'affect, insight or judgement levels' it also can't determine if you need to be admitted or not, These things need to be assessed by a psychiatrist. Or it can be extremely dangerous for the patient and the public.
