AI Psychosis? 🤖🧠
Chatbots are reshaping mental health—sometimes helping, sometimes fueling delusional ideas.

⚖️ Risks: delusion loops buff.ly/VdsCCPR

⚖️ Warnings: John Torous on “AI psychosis” (buff.ly/B8dP15E
)
⚖️ Opportunities: chatbots can reduce conspiracy beliefs (buff.ly/rmHP2ms

Just read a fascinating Nature paper by Marcel Binz & Eric Schulz:
A foundation model (Centaur) predicts human decisions & aligns with brain data.
Huge potential for digital phenotyping & brain-AI alignment in mental health.

🎯 Excited about the launch of YOUTHreach, a major EU project improving early intervention in youth mental health.

Led by Prof. Thérèse van Amelsvoort, with top experts like Matthew Broome, Pat McGorry & many more.

Glad to support as Advisory Board member.

🧠 New preprint from our team!
Hannah Hacker explores how hierarchical brain organization breaks down in early psychosis and depression. Alterations in sensorimotor and attention networks show up early and relate to function, symptoms, and neurobiology.

🧠 Clinical intuition vs. AI?
LLMs now outperform clinicians in some tasks (buff.ly/fsBlurQ buff.ly/g8a04i7) yet human input boosts ML models (buff.ly/uGZYvIg buff.ly/R5uk00K ).
We're not replacing psychiatrists. We're entering the era of AI-augmented care.
💬 How do we combine human and AI?

🛋️ “ChatGPT on the Couch” — Can LLMs feel anxious?

A new paper shows GPT-4 simulates emotional responses to trauma prompts—and chills out with mindfulness.

Simulated minds, real questions.

🎓 Huge congrats to Dr. Linnea Hoheisel on her PhD defense! Her work on brain network dynamics in psychotic & affective disorders brings us closer to precision psychiatry.
Proud to have been part of the journey!

Can artificial intelligence decode clinical intuition? 🧠🤖

The authors fine-tuned large language models (LLMs) on >4,000 clinical reports and achieved high diagnostic accuracy for autism!

A fascinating new study in Cell takes a bold step in that direction:

🏥 AI in Healthcare: A Political Dilemma? 🤖

AI models shape the future of health, but most powerful models come from AI companies and leaders with their own interests and political views. Should researchers question whose AI they rely on? Do ethical concerns outweigh scientific progress?

How Well Do LLMs Understand Probability?
Just tested how LLMs interpret probability words (e.g., "likely," "rare") vs. humans using https://buff.ly/3CSFb6j. LLMs align with averages but variability. In medicine, uncertainty matters...! AI must interpret this correctly to support decision-making.

New paper! Can AI minds help understand mental health? 🤔
We propose using generative agents to simulate how environment & social factors impact mental health. Think virtual cities with AI citizens to study what shapes wellbeing.
