Another win for talk therapy and important implications for therapeutic applications of ai. A great business opportunity where a lot of good can be done. The pharmaceutical market is huge.
- pygy_ 9y agoYou probably meant health care, this will probably shrink the pharmaceutical market by a non-trivial amount. Hopefully the effects will be long lasting and therapy won't have to be repeated (or if it does it will be with months if not years of remissions without treatment). The people who will benefit from that treatment will probably need to take less or no anti-psychotics daily. A great win since these drugs have ugly side effects (obesity in the short term, and neurological problems after decades).
- DataWorker 9y agoMy implication was that a lot of money is spent on antipsychotics and if this non-pharmaceutical approach can be automated it might be able to capture some of the antipsychotic medication market for very little cost.
