On The Authentic AI Podcast, Michael Pierce delves into the transformative potential of Conversational AI in recovery processes. This innovative technology is revolutionizing recovery methods by providing continuous emotional support, achieving a high level of personalization, predicting potential relapses, educating users about their conditions, and enforcing accountability habits. It's also a valuable tool for counselors and therapists. Despite its potential, the ethical considerations, such as data privacy and inclusivity, cannot be ignored. Nonetheless, the future looks promising with developments like 'Emotional AI' and integration with wearables. Examples of applications already in use include AI companions Replika and Woebot, Sober Buddy App, and some crisis helplines. Conversational AI brings a new, empowering dimension to the recovery landscape.
