The Intersection of AI: ChatGPT, Mental Health, Mindfulness, Ethics, and the Future

Mindful Paths Podcast

The Intersection of AI: ChatGPT, Mental Health, Mindfulness, Ethics, and the Future

In this episode, Hari and Nick dive deep into the intersection of mental health and artificial intelligence and question the role generative AI platforms such as ChatGPT, a language-based AI platform trained by OpenAI can play in mental health.

Nick and Hari tackle various topics, including the role of generative AI in society, the evolution of mental health stigma, and the ethical implications of relying on AI for basic human needs.

We attempt to balance the conversation by highlighting the potential benefits of AI and the importance of society taking a proactive approach to positive mental health. Additionally, we explore the concept of mindfulness, innate wellbeing, and meditation to understand how these practices can help combat mental health challengesWe also touch upon the concept of mindfulness, innate wellbeing, and meditation to understand how these practices can help combat mental health challenges. The power of journaling, the chimp paradox, and the mindful athlete are also explored.

Throughout the episode, we question whether society is taking a proactive or reactive approach to mental health. We try to understand what can be learned from popular fictional TV characters such as Ted Lasso. We also discuss the potential downsides of AI and the importance of humans contextualizing information.

On a lighter note, we also get sidetracked by conversations about cute little puppies, terrible movie references, Buddhist monk parables, and teenage memories.

Join us for an insightful and thought-provoking conversation on the intersection of mental health and AI, and how mindfulness and wellbeing can help us navigate these rapid technological changes.
