🧠 Psychology & Counseling
-
AI enables psychological counseling and support to be available around the clock and for everyone. Private conversations with AI allow people to talk about worries, fears, and life questions without overcoming social barriers.
-
Applications range from simple coaching sessions to first aid during mental crises. However, professional psychological support remains essential for more complicated cases.
-
Examples:
-
- AI-based chatbots for mental health (e.g. Wysa, Woebot): They support millions of users every day, often responding in minutes instead of long waits for real counseling (saved time: several hours to days).
- Digital addiction counseling: Platforms like Replika help people to receive early support against addictive behavior, anytime, anywhere.
- Automated stress level analyses in companies: AI detects warning signs in employee surveys before mental issues arise, saving HR departments several hours per week for evaluation and action planning.
