Artificial intelligence has become important in many areas of life, and now it is also attracting interest in mental health care. Iltalehti's programme listings have presented a documentary called "My therapist is AI", which examines the use of artificial intelligence in psychotherapy.
The documentary's subject is the possibilities of artificial intelligence in psychotherapy. Many people feel that AI could make care easier to access, since people cannot always get quickly to an appointment with a professional. With the help of AI, a person can also receive support during a difficult moment.
The documentary also addresses risks. One important question is data protection, that is, how sensitive personal data is protected. In addition, there are questions about whether AI can give incorrect advice or understand people's emotions as well as a trained therapist. Human encounter and trust are central to care for many people.
The documentary offers viewers information on the topic and helps them consider where AI can support mental health care and where human work remains most important. The subject is timely, because artificial intelligence is being used more and more in health care as well.
