I'm humbled and thrilled to be included in TIME Magazine's TIME100 AI. It’s good to see all the brilliant brains, including Andrew Ng!, working to harness AI's power in so many fields responsibly.

I'm pleased to announce we registered an IRB-approved trial to study how an LLM-augmented version of Woebot compares to the current version--an important step to unlocking the potential of LLMs in mental health.

'Mental healthcare is a 'shitstorm' Thomas Insel, a former director of the National Institutes of Mental Health told me. 'Nobody likes what they get. Nobody is happy with what they give. It's a complete mess''. You said it Tom Insel newyorker.com/magazine/2023/… @HiWoebot

So sad to hear of the loss of Dr Aaron Beck, creator of CBT, and savior of psychiatry- he took us out of the dark ages of endless talking about dreams and created a treatment that was short, data driven, evidence based and most importantly, empowering. nytimes.com/2021/11/01/hea… (1)

A public and mental health issue. The risk for black men dying from police violence is the same as we face if we get measles. Only we don't get traumatized by videos of people being given the measles, intentionally, by the institutions that are supposed to protect us.

Woebot is in a remarkable position to be there for people during difficult times so we made uplifting and grounding content AND a web tool that I'm so proud to say is being translated to Italian. @HiWoebot
