Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing psychiatry. With the help of AI language models such as ChatGPT, we could diagnose mental disorders more accurately by recognizing subtle changes in language. These models would also be helpful in predicting therapies and creating effective treatment plans. AI bots based on these models could support therapists and accompany patients in their everyday lives.

AI can therefore help us to better understand how the brain works. The lecture provided an insight into the limits and possibilities of AI language models such as ChatGPT in psychiatry.
