 Can AI replace therapist?

In the era of technology and AI, We often wonder weather AI can do things which were once done by human being, specially something like therapy or counseling, since AI is taking almost everything up which was once done by human driving cars to even imagining a scene or brainstorming a idea. But what about world of counseling or therapy?Much of the time AI can provide support, understanding and give tailored therapy help therapist to do research, diagnose.Following are some MERITS AND DEMERITS of AI as therapist.

 MERITS

  1. Since AI is accessible 24/7, and human therapist are not available all the time, people can get access to AI based therapy than human therapist.
  2. Chat bots or AI can also help in diagnose or help understand a individual what he/she is going through- as a self awareness (psycho educate)
  3. It can also provide basic structured exercise (therapeutic techniques) for any mild level disorder.
  4. It can also aid therapist to make any sort of research, training etc.

DEMERITS 

  1. Many a times Chat bots or AI  can lack empathy, experienced, nuanced knowledge etc.
  2. Chat bots or  can also struggle with memory issues which leads to fragmented care.
  3. It can also struggle with ethics, record or data keeping.
  4.  Many a times AI is also unable to provide tailored therapy, proper understanding of disorder due to lack of experience, qualifications and body language specially for serious conditions.

Hence it can be said that AI or chat bots can provide hybrid form of therapy due to experience, empathy , qualifications and body language, so there will be hybrid mode of therapy where human therapist and AI will both be working jointly.
