[Roy Dings]

 Lemon Tree Webinar Series

The Responsible Use of Conversational Artificial Intelligence in Mental Healthcare (part 2)

 

The Lemon Tree Interdisciplinary Center for Psychiatry, Psychotherapy, and Philosophy is pleased to invite you to the second part of our webinar series on Conversational Artificial Intelligence and Mental Health.  

 

Charlotte Blease (Digital Health/Philosophy, Uppsala, Sweden) will begin the day with a talk exploring how generative artificial intelligence is being deployed by mental health practitioners. We will then turn to Robert Clowes (Philosophy, Lisbon, Portugal) who will analyse how large language models are increasingly treated as what he calls “ersatz others”, playing a deep role in our cognitive and affective lives. Pii Telakivi (Philosophy, Helsinki/Lemon Tree Center, Amsterdam UMC) will outline six ways in which chatbots could play a role in the psychotherapeutic process. The webinar will close with Nicholas Jacobson who is the leader of team of researchers at the Dartmouth Geisel School of Medicine who developed Therabot, the first generative AI chatbot to undergo a randomised clinical trial.
