I have / had a plan to work on a MOOP (massive open online psychology) where Alexa / iPhone would listen you your conversations and coach / guide you through life.
To do this is technically possible but the trust problem is huge - basically it involves medical / legal levels of confidentiality baked into our legal and social systems.
It was obvious that in the workplace was the early traction for this (and hey guess what I waited too long) but the good parts and the bad parts of this all hinge on one simple question - is the technology and the legal and support frameworks around the technology aimed utterly in the best interests of the individual in all cases.
Only then do we get the trust levels - only then is the foundation strong.
And we in the West "know" that a dictatorship cannot put in place those systems - and yet we think we can put them in place in our workplaces.
There is I think a vast beneficial life coaching framework that technology can bring to we humans.
But it must come with a medical "patient interests first and only" approach - and the companies that benefit from that (and they will benefit from empowered optimised engaged happy workers) can only benefit by being the kind of companies that one can completely trust - which almost certainly means total rewrite of the rules of how companies work - the laughable dictatorships of today must give way to open communes of equals.
And the catch 22 at the heart of this is only the kind of well adjusted people for whom AI coaching will have least effect are those that will build those companies first
