The TED AI Show: AI therapy is here. What does it mean for you? w/ Dr. Alison Darcy and Brian Chandler

We may think the complexities of the human mind can only be understood by other humans. Yet research on chatbots and psychology suggests non-human bots can actually help improve mental health. Bilawal talks with Dr. Alison Darcy, the founder of mental health app Woebot, and Brian Chandler, an app user, to learn what chatbots reveal about our inner lives and what they can (and can’t) do when it comes to emotional wellness.  Check out the 99% Invisible episode we reference in the show here: For transcripts for The TED AI Show, visit <a href="http://go.ted.com/TTAIS-transcripts">go.ted.com/TTAIS-transcripts</a>
