The short film, Can AI Help Solve the Mental Health Crisis? by Rakesh Singh with a voice over by Jerry Camacho, sheds light on the Mental Health Crisis, with 36% of cases going undiagnosed due to social stigma.
AI technology has been rapidly advancing across all fields, especially the mental health field. This technology has the potential to decrease the stigma around mental health by reducing the need for people to seek face to face help. The first step of therapy is generally to talk to someone and begin therapy. However, with many people unable to take this first stress due to stigma around mental illness, AI technology could be the solution eliminating this step altogether. People could use AI to receive the therapy they need because AI is being trained in different forms of therapy. The technology is also 63%-92% successful at identifying mental illness.
The information is presented in a clear manner, but it could use some more in depth information to make it clearer what the technology does. Overall the video is visually interesting and provides interesting information.
I give this film a 3 out of 5 stars.
