Beyond the Screen | Ep. 13: How far are we letting artificial intelligence into our lives? Can an algorithm replace human empathy?
In this new episode of Beyond…
the Screen, we pit two radical approaches against each other: a life 100% optimized by algorithms versus analog self-regulation (yoga, pottery, and genuine connection). We discussed the use of artificial intelligence in mental health and daily decision-making. We are joined by two content creators, Ivon a proponent of assistive technology and AI as a best friend and psychologist and Yoselin, a critic of excessive screen use and an advocate for traditional mental health approaches.
We analyze the impact of clinical tools such as Therabot and the prediction of cognitive decline, weighing them against real risks such as loss of privacy, AI hallucinations, and psychiatric diagnoses involving delusions and digital isolation. We also explore real world human resources. Is AI our greatest ally or an emotional trap? Which side are you on?
