Entrepreneur Christian angerThe founder of psychedelic biotechnology atai life sciences, spoke by AI helping to help human psychedelic therapists with motivational controllers with patients between sessions. “Where AI can play a huge role is in voluntary therapy to support lifestyle changes,” he says. “For the psychological support we are expected to be provided during the trip, I believe you would always need at least one trained health care professional capable of giving direct support if required.”
While Trey did not travel under the supervision of some people, he still feels that he is reaping benefits from using alterd. Although it would be prematurely drawing certain conclusions after just a few months, Trey credits his interactions with the AI -Bot to help him stay away. He thinks of the app’s mental chat as his own “subconscious”, built from all his journalist entries and notes.
“This app and everything else gives me a deep self -awareness,” he says. “I could observe my thoughts, feelings and impulses without judgment or spiral.”
“Our” chat with your mind “is not just a gender chatgpt interface,” says the creator of the app, Sam Tiain, a recent Harvard -University gradient, who is a close friend of US Secretary of Health Robert Kennedy Jr. Aidan. “It’s a common AI -ilo that we have built, which reflects your own thoughts, moods and patterns.” It uses data on current user states, past entries, interactions and emotional tone to generate personality insights, he adds. “While the AI is designed to support users positively, it specifically does not blindly enhance any thought or behavior. Instead, it will gently challenge or emphasize possible negative patterns as excessive use of substance and encourage healthier alternatives.”
But there are obvious concerns that trusting machines that are unable to perceive subtleties, no less at the top of what could be a noisy psychedelic trip could carry serious dangers. Already, there are stories appearing from ChatGPT-induced psychosis on online forums such as Reddit, even without the use of psychedelics.
“Critical care for Chatgpt and most other AI agents are their lack of dynamic emotional attitude and ability to co-regulate the user’s nervous system,” says Manesh GirnPostdoctoral neuroscientist at UC San Francisco. “These are both central in a therapeutic report, which research indicates essential for positive results with psychedelic therapy.”
Psychedelic experiences can be extremely difficult and distressing, he adds, “and exclusively rely on exhausted and potentially tone-deaf agent, instead of a suitable human presence, has high potential for damage.” Especially one, which often mirrors the assumptions embedded in the prompt of a user who “can lead some downward or deleted path.”
Chatgpt is not designed as a substitute for professional care, but is a general tool intended to be actual, neutral and security, according to Gaby Raila, an open AI spokesman who owns the chat. Its models are taught to remind users of the importance of real-world human connection and professional guidance, and its use policies require that users comply with the law and do not cause damage to themselves or others.
