Can an AI chatbot provide support when panic strikes in the night?
In short: In this TED Talk, psychologist Alison Darcy discusses Woebot, a mental health chatbot designed to assist individuals during difficult moments, particularly when human support is unavailable.
In conversation with Kelly Corrigan, Darcy explores the vision for Woebot and the necessity of demanding ethical design in psychological AIs. The discussion examines the potential for AI to serve as a resource during crises, such as middle-of-the-night panic attacks, and considers the responsibilities involved in creating technology for mental health.
