This is incredibly real written and introduced me to a field I didn't realize AI could have such an impact on, but the way you explained it, it makes total sense. Evidence-based approach to therapy is exactly what AI is designed for, so therapists must adjust their practices to a more personable. Which like you said, implies more creative and relationship driven conversations. I wonder if AI could ever take over the therapy field? My initial belief is no way because AI isn't able in a physical body and creating a real relationship with a person. But would patients even consider going to some sort of AI model or robot (maybe in the future) to discuss their problems? I also wouldn't think so because they wouldn't get the same treatment as with a human being. But then again maybe some individuals would rather not talk to a human and talk to an online chatbot or something technology based. I'm not sure but your blog made me really curious on this topic. I think it's interesting to consider what is going to happen with AI in the future.
Yes, the idea has been used badly, even though it sounded like a good idea. Like many, there are unintended consequences, like so many things we have and do try. If you are going to use a system of algorithm's, you will not need anyone with a brain at all - just trials of one option over another. It is perfect for computers and not for humans. there is an art of any kind of health care, nuanced, personal, relationship-building, rapport, discernment. As you say. Thank you, I think it has been talked about but is lost in all the other noise. It is disturbing, and the same in medicine there is this conundrum. Keep writing!
I really appreciate this piece Chris. Thank you for sharing.
This is great and timely information ℹ️ I’ll share with practicum students!!
