In this episode of Health Matters, we explore the benefits and risks of artificial intelligence as a tool for therapy. Dr. Shannon Bennett, associate director of The Center for Youth Mental Health and a psychologist at NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine, identifies the potential for the technology to broaden access to mental health treatment and help therapists improve their care. But she also cautions users to understand that chatbots aren’t always the ideal replacement for human therapists, and come with many concerns around safety, data, and privacy.
