When Crisis Meets Code: Navigating AI and Suicide Prevention

from High On Healthy Hosted by Cannabis Radio

Richard Zwicky talks with Dr. Christine Moutier, Chief Medical Officer of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), explore the overlap between AI chatbots and mental health crisis intervention. As more people in distress turn to AI for immediate help, Dr. Moutier distinguishes between purpose-built mental health LLMs and broad-use platforms, where AFSP is focusing its energy on risk detection and upstream prevention. A key concern is the risk of AI hallucinating, providing inappropriate advice, or creating a dangerous dependency through "synthetic emotional intimacy".
