Illinois becomes third state to restrict use of artificial intelligence in mental health industry as experts warn about ‘AI psychosis'
Illinois passed a bill banning therapists from employing artificial intelligence chatbots for assistance with mental health therapy, as experts countrywide warn against people's ever-growing reliance on the machines. The 'Therapy Resources Oversight' legislation prohibits licensed mental health professionals in Illinois from using AI for treatment decisions or communication with clients. It also bans companies from recommending chatbot therapy tools as a be-all alternative to traditional therapy. 5 Illinois became the third state to pass a bill banning therapists from relying on artificial intelligence. terovesalainen – Advertisement Enforcement of the bill will rely on complaints from the public that the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation will investigate. Anyone determined to be violating the ban could face a civil penalty of up to $10,000, according to the legislation text. Utah and Nevada, two Republican-run states, previously passed similar laws limiting AI's capacity in mental health services in May and late June, respectively. Unregulated chatbots can take harmless conversations in any direction, sometimes incidentally leading people into divulging sensitive information or pushing people who are already in vulnerable situations to do something drastic, like take their own life, experts have warned. Advertisement A Stanford University study released in June found that many chatbots, which are programmed to respond enthusiastically to users, fail to sidestep concerning prompts — including requests for high bridges in specific locations to jump off of. 5 Utah and Nevada previously passed similar bans limiting AI. AnnaStills – Whereas chatbots affirm unequivocally regardless of the circumstance, therapists provide support and the means to help their patients improve, Vaile Wright, senior director for the office of health care innovation at the American Psychological Association, told the Washington Post. 'Therapists are validating, but it's also our job to point out when somebody is engaging in unhealthy thoughts, feelings, behaviors and then help somebody challenge those and find better options,' Wright told the outlet. Advertisement 5 Experts warn that overreliance on AI is creating 'psychosis' for heavy users. Ascannio – The bans, though, are difficult to effectively enforce — and can't prevent everyday people from turning to AI for mental health assistance on their own. New research released in early August found that many bots like ChatGPT are inducing 'AI psychosis' in unwitting users with no history of mental illnesses. 5 Some chatbots have allegedly contributed to users' suicide attempts. PhotoGranary – Advertisement Roughly 75% of Americans have used some form of AI in the last six months, with 33% reporting daily usage for anything from help on homework to desperate romantic connections. This deep engagement is breeding psychological distress in heavy users, according to the digital marketing study. Many youth, in particular, are falling down the chatbot rabbit hole and turning to machines to supplement human interaction. 5 Roughly 75% of Americans have used AI in some capacity over the last six months, according to one study. Vane Nunes – a popular platform where users can create and share chatbots usually based on fictional characters, had to place a warning clarifying that anything the bots say 'should not be relied upon as fact or advice' after a Florida teen fell in love with his 'Game of Thrones' AI character and took his own life. The platform is still dealing with a lawsuit filed against the company for the teen's death. Despite repeated attempts to dismiss it on First Amendment grounds, a federal judge ruled that the suit could move forward in August. Another Texas family sued after a chatbot on the app named 'Shonie' encouraged their autistic son to cut himself.

Your Android phone is getting a significant free upgrade right now
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Quick summary Android has updated the much talked about Gemini Live with new features, meaning this smart AI upgrade could be waiting for you to install right now. Now you can control features like Google Calendar, Tasks, Maps and Keep across Android and iOS devices using the AI smarts. Google's Gemini Live, which launched on Android and iOS back in June, has just been upgraded for even more smart controls. Now the intelligent AI can help you with access to more apps like Google Keep, Google Calendar, Google Maps and Google Tasks. Yup, you've probably spotted the theme, as this is all very Google app focused still. But since this covers some pretty powerful life management apps, if you already use them, this update could make Gemini Live a really helpful single point of control for a lot of your life admin needs. It's worth noting that Samsung plays nice too, with Gemini Live able to access Calendar, Notes and Reminders as needed. The Gemini Live app update – which is rolling out to more devices each day – now shows visual app control. There is a small icon at the bottom that shows the name of the app being used, with a circular loading indicator around that icon. Usefully there is also an "Undo" button after things like "List created" allowing you to edit with touch as well as voice controls. The option is there for naming one of the four Google apps to have Gemini work with that directly, like saying "Use Google Maps to direct me to ..." or "Note this down in Keep ..." and so on. Usefully this will also work with the camera, which is where this gets really super helpful. Say you see a calendar with an event listed, or a poster with a dated event. You can use the live camera to pick that up and have Gemini save it in your Calendar for you. While that's a nice shortcut it also means you can immediately be told if this clashes with something you've already got lined up. This update has launched and is rolling out across Android and iOS devices, so it might be worth checking to see if yours has an update waiting, as this could contain all these upgrades that are ready and waiting for your device.
