Integrity in AI-Supported Mental Health Recovery
The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has opened new opportunities for personalized and adaptive mental health support. Within the framework of precision mental health, which emphasizes tailoring interventions to individual needs based on behavioral, biological, and contextual data, GenAI tools can facilitate recovery by providing adaptive dialogue, emotional regulation support, and personalized coping resources.
Large language models such as ChatGPT are being used as support by people experiencing mental health problems. However, concerns have emerged that such tools may reproduce stigma toward people with mental health conditions and respond inappropriately by, for example, reinforcing delusional thinking through sycophantic agreement.
This project aims to examine how existing, readily available tools, such as ChatGPT, are used by individuals to support their own recovery processes and how such use might be integrated into mental health care. Integrating AI-driven systems into mental health care introduces complex integrity-related challenges.
