Chatbots playing therapist could show signs of anxiety

At a time when many are utilizing AI as an alternative to in-person therapy, a new study out this month found that ChatGPT can act like it's anxious when presented with traumatic experiences by users. The study's lead author Ziv Ben-Zion told The World's host Marco Werman that the results raise questions about how language models might impact people at their most vulnerable. Ben-Zion is a clinical neuroscientist at Haifa University in Israel.
