New research suggests AI can deliver mental health therapy with efficacy comparable to human clinicians. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine details a randomized clinical trial where an AI bot, trained in clinical best practices by Dartmouth College researchers, helped individuals with conditions like depression, anxiety, and eating disorder risk. The results showed significant improvement in those who engaged with the AI therapy, with patients forming surprisingly strong, trusting relationships with their bots, accessing them even in the middle of the night. While the American Psychological Association is pleased with the rigorous training of this AI model, researchers stress the technology is still a long way from the market and requires further trials. As psychologist say the country needs all the therapists we can get both human or bot and that human therapists should not fear. Did you know strength of bonds and trust with therapists is one of the overall predictors of efficacy in talk and cognitive behavioral therapy?
