AI chatbots posing as therapists could have 'dangerous' and violent consequences for patients, experts say
Call the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline or text TALK to 741741 at the Crisis Text Line if you are in need of help. Health experts say that artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots posing as therapists could cause "serious harm" to struggling people, including adolescents, without the proper safety measures. Christine Yu Moutier, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, told Fox News Digital there are "critical gaps" in research regarding the intended and unintended impacts of AI on suicide risk, mental health and larger human behavior. "The problem with these AI chatbots is that they were not designed with expertise on suicide risk and prevention baked into the algorithms. Additionally, there is no helpline available on the platform for users who may be at risk of a mental health condition or suicide, no training on how to use the tool if you are at risk, nor industry standards to regulate these technologies," Moutier said.

Undersea Drones are Taking Navy Submarines to the Next Level
Here's What You Need to Remember: From a tactical circumstance, given that attack submarines and nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarines are likely to conduct large amounts of clandestine patrols, it seems as though an ability to avoid having to surface would bring an extraordinary operational advantage. Could newer kinds of AI-enabled undersea drone data processing and analysis introduce new breakthrough possibilities when it comes to solving the longstanding challenge of achieving high-speed, real-time connectivity? Submarine commanders and weapons developers explain that UUV undersea functionality is dependent upon limited battery power and would therefore be further enabled by an ability to "process the data at the source of the sensor" to distinguish and transmit only the most critical information needed by human decision-makers. "That's the concept, how do you get all of that information back to a human to analyze. Maybe you don't want to do that? Maybe you want to allow the UUV to do some initial analysis and make some modifications to its behavior autonomously?"
