AI as a Therapist: Helpful Tool or Dangerous Illusion?

Did you know that of all the possible uses of AI, the one that's the most popular right now is therapy? People are using AI as their own online therapist to work out their issues. What does that mean, for our mental health?

This episode challenges what you believe about connection, AI, and human emotion. I sat down with Dr. Marlyn Wei, a Harvard and Yale trained psychiatrist who has been at the forefront in exploring the connection between AI and psychology. Listen in as I asked her whether AI can ever replace the power of being truly seen, and what role, if any, AI might have in the field of therapy. I expand on this conversation further on my Substack: https://substack.com/@adelewang. Hope to see you there!
