Eat Weight Disord. 2023 Jun 19;28(1):50. doi: 10.1007/s40519-023-01579-8.
ABSTRACT
In this editorial, we discuss how the diffusion of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based tools-such as the recently available conversational AIs-could impact and transform eating disorders (EDs) care. We try to envision the possible use of AI by individuals affected by EDs and by clinicians, in terms of prevention, support to treatment, and development of new and actually personalized treatment strategies. We then focus on how the introduction of AI into psychotherapy could either represent an element of disruption for the therapeutical relationship or be positively and creatively integrated into session and inter-sessional dynamics. As technological advancements open scenarios where anyone could have access to a personal and all-knowing “oracle”, the ability to formulate questions, individuals’ experiences, and the scientific rigor with which clinicians study them must remain at the center of our work. Ethical and legal issues about the use of AI are also considered.
