Recent research indicates that AI bots trained in clinical practices may deliver mental health therapy as effectively as human clinicians, addressing the shortage of mental health providers in the U.S. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine demonstrated this with a randomized trial involving 200 participants with mental health conditions. The findings revealed significant improvements in those treated by the AI bot, including a surprisingly strong bond formed between users and the bot, enhancing trust and collaboration in managing mental health symptoms.
The effects that we see strongly mirror what you would see in the best evidence-based trials of psychotherapy.
People were really developing this strong relationship with an ability to trust it.
