Description was written before the event
For many, opening a chatbot has become a natural response when life gets tough. But what actually happens when we use AI as a trusted conversation partner - or even as a psychologist?
Bolette Windfeld Thesbjerg, Ph.D. in psychology at Aalborg University, and Søren Dinesen Østergaard, professor of translational psychiatry at Aarhus University, discuss AI chatbots as a psychological tool. They examine whether the technology can provide real support, whether it overlooks nuances that only humans can detect, and whether it could potentially be directly harmful.
The event is part of the Folk University's knowledge festival Hearts & Minds and takes place in the Rampen room at the Main Library.
