Artificial Intelligence (AI) is quickly becoming an integrated aspect of daily life. While this emerging technology can provide valuable help for many professions, the threat of AI replacing human contact in one of the most “human” profession, the mental health field, is growing.
A 2024 study found that approximately 28% of people surveyed have used AI for quick support and as a personal therapist. In a recent global survey, among the 77% who have never attended therapy with a human, nearly one in three said they would consider trying AI-based therapy in the future.
In this workshop, led by the Student Support Centre, we will explore how artificial intelligence is already influencing our minds, especially with regard to self-awareness and mental health practices. Together, we will examine both the promising possibilities and challenges of using AI in self-reflection and therapeutic contexts.
What can participants expect:
- Interactive exercises and group discussions
- Real-life examples and AI demos
- Examining AI from a psychological and ethical perspective
- Discussing opportunities and risks of using AI for mental health
- Reflecting on how to use AI as a tool for growth rather than a substitute for connection
- Receiving additional resources and reading materials on AI for mental health
Who should attend: This workshop is open to students interested in psychology, technology, or self-development.
