Mental Health tools that use AI: good? Bad? Confusing? Scary? How should we be looking and thinking about this?
When we're talking about integrating artificial intelligence into mental health tools use by clinicians, etc. I think this is a crucial conversation that calls for what media theorist Marshall McLuhan termed hybrid energy and what scholar Neil Postman would describe as loving resistance. You see, the question in my mind isn't whether AI. Should replace human clinicians. It's about how we can thoughtfully integrate AI to augment, not supplant, the human elements of care
So my knee jerk response was to be very resistant to the idea. But as I was listening to you, I started thinking about all of the places where it could work and would actually be really important to work to incorporate AI. So for anyone listening and is not aware of autistic ADHD, a lot of the diagnoses in the DSM, they're sort of doorways, right, to help us understand ourselves or understand other people
