Episode Synopsis

No License. No Training. No Ethics. But AI Can Be Your Therapist?!What happens when artificial intelligence starts offering emotional support, without training, without oversight, and without accountability?In this opening episode of Next Session, we reviewed an article by Fora Fereydouni, Cognitai's Founder and CEO, alongside the Chief Ethical Innovation Officer, unpacking the real-world consequences of AI chatbots that simulate therapy. From tragic losses to systemic ethical failures, this episode explores the critical difference between real clinical care and its algorithmic imitation.You’ll hear:The true stories behind viral AI chat platforms and the lives they’ve impactedWhy simulating empathy isn’t the same as providing mental health supportWhat real therapy requires, and why AI can’t provide itA call for boundaries, regulation, and ethical innovation in behavioral techThis is not a story about potential. It’s a warning about an existing reality.“The ambition score of these startups is 100. Their ethical and responsibility score? Zero.”"If a person did this without a license, it would be criminal. When software does it, it is called a business model."By Fora FereydouniFounder & CEO, CognitaiWith contributions from Cognitai’s Chief Ethical Innovation Officer
