Artificial intelligence could help people in need of mental health treatment.

It is estimated that more than 28 million adults with a mental illness are not getting treated.

There is one FDA-approved chatbot called “Therabot” that offers “scripted” responses.

However, a professor at Dartmouth College wants Therabot to become the first FDA-approved generative AI chatbot that learns about you and offers individual replies. 

A doctor at the American Psychological Association believes AI should not be a replacement for a human – saying the chances it could provide inaccurate information is too high.
