We are in the midst of a technological revolution, with the development of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI implements machine learning, a method of training computer models to perform complex tasks. AI can be used as a type of chatbot therapist to treat depression and anxiety through online chatting with patients. Currently, there are unprecedented levels of depression and mental health issues, and the internet offers affordable and accessible care to more individuals than traditional therapy. Reports vary on the effectiveness of AI chatbots, but the general consensus is they fall somewhere between moderately and extremely effective.
