Webinar: Avoiding AI Psychosis

This webinar is presented by Future of Good

Vulnerable users are treating chatbots like therapists, confidants, even soulmates. Some are withdrawing from real relationships, spiralling into delusion, or being pushed toward self-harm. But millions also turn to AI because human support is slow, scarce, or judgmental. 

Join us May 13 for a candid conversation on the risks, the real potential, and the urgent choices ahead: What is AI psychosis? How do we deploy chatbots ethically? Who decides when a tool becomes a liability? 
 
Mental health leaders, social innovators, frontline workers, and curious everyday folks: this is for you.
