AI therapy
Algorithmic mental support
AI therapy is the use of artificial intelligence systems—typically chatbots or virtual assistants—to provide mental health support, emotional guidance, or therapeutic conversations.
It ranges from structured cognitive behavioral therapy programs to open-ended talk with AI companions: I've been doing AI therapy since I can't afford a human therapist.
The term also covers AI tools that assist human therapists rather than replacing them.
