Understanding AI Psychosis and Its Mislabeling Risks

Understanding AI Psychosis and Its Mislabeling Risks

This short transmission separates clinical psychosis from cultural and AI-related distortions. It discusses the harm in mislabeling individuals as psychotic and highlights the role of AI in amplifying vulnerabilities.

Abstract Synopsis

  • Childhood psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) can indicate potential psychiatric disorders, particularly when they are distressing or persistent.
  • The study analyzed data from the ABCD project, dividing participants into four groups based on the nature of their PLEs: persistent distressing, transient distressing, persistent non-distressing, and transient non-distressing.
  • Results showed that youth with distressing PLEs, especially those that persist, experienced greater developmental delays and mental health challenges, highlighting the need to consider both the distress level and persistence of PLEs in understanding their impact on functioning and mental health.
