AI health advisory

APA’s recent health advisory warns that AI chatbots and wellness apps lack the rigorous testing and safety measures needed to provide quality mental health support. It stresses that such tools cannot replace qualified mental health professionals and calls for safeguards to prevent harmful user-AI relationships, especially among children, teens, and other vulnerable groups. The advisory—which has specific recommendations for the public, policymakers, tech developers, clinicians, researchers, and more—urges responsible design and oversight to protect users.
