The impact of artificial intelligence in psychodiagnosis and psychotherapy: Innovations, limitations, and ethical dilemmas
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the field of psychology by introducing significant changes in psychological diagnosis and psychotherapy. Advanced AI systems, based on deep learning algorithms and automated intelligence, can analyze clinical data, identify behavioral patterns, and suggest person-alized diagnoses or treatments. Meanwhile, the use of AI in psychotherapy, through chatbots and digital platforms, raises new concerns regarding authenticity, empathy, and ethical considerations in psychologi-cal therapy. One of the major challenges is the existential anxiety experienced by patients guided by a ma-chine, affecting the level of trust and the effectiveness of treatment. Furthermore, ethical dilemmas related to data privacy, clinical responsibility, and the boundaries between humans and technology remain open for discussion. This study aims to explore the impact of AI in psychodiagnosis and psychotherapy by analyzing innovations, limitations, and ethical challenges associated with its application in mental health.
