AI : Things to Check Before Accessing Support from an AI driven health tool
Summarised:
1. AI tools should not operate as ‘always on’, giving people time away to process;
2. AI tools should be supportive.and should not create treatment plans or rteplace existing ones. The reflexive, human processes of therapy are vital.
3. AI tools must provide safeguarding support and human escalation.
