Nina de Lacy, SCI affiliate faculty & a fellow in our One-U Responsible AI Initiative, worked with Utah Office of AI Policy's Zachary Boyd on a review of AI in mental health care. Their findings underscore the promise of these AI tools & the urgent need for thoughtful regulation.

The Doctor Is Not In - But The Chatbot Is

Chatbots that offer mental health support are in millions of people's pockets — the question is no longer whether to regulate them but whether we can regulate them while protecting vulnerable users. https://t.co/HxKSED9WNo
