Challenges of Using AI in Contemporary Psychological Interventions

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in psychological interventions is growing rapidly along with the increasing need for practical, adaptive, and technology-based mental health services. This article aims to examine the challenges, trends, benefits, and implementation of AI in psychological interventions through a literature study approach. By reviewing more than 20 scientific sources in the last 10 years, this article reveals how AI has been applied in early detection of mental disorders, virtual therapy, and AI-based psychological support. It was found that AI is able to expand the reach of psychological services, but still leaves challenges related to ethics, professional competence, and limitations of emotional responses. This article provides an initial foundation for further research on optimizing collaboration between psychology and technology as well as important suggestions for stakeholders, at the government level as policy makers, as well as psychology organizations, academics, and psychology practitioners.
