Who will you choose to talk about it? Now more Chinese people are using AI tools like DeepSeek to talk about their problems. They share feelings with the AI tools and get warm advice. This is called “AI therapy (疗愈)”, and it is becoming popular online. But are Al tools really as good as human doctors? Around the world, there are many people who need mental health care. But in 2024, 45 percent of them did not get it because it was too expensive and there weren’t enough doctors. Daniel Lowd, a professor at the University of Oregon, believes AI could solve this problem. “People can find some advice and ideas by talking to these AI tools. I think that’s meaningful and useful.” However, AI has its problems. Human doctors understand feelings better and can offer different treatment (治疗) to different people, while AI tools can’t. Another problem is safety (安全). AI may act as a doctor, but it doesn’t have proper training and it doesn’t follow rules. Scientists believe the key to safe AI therapy is strict government (政府) control. As AI becomes part of daily life, it’s important for us to find a way to deal with its benefits (益处) and risks. 41.
