From Paper to Encryption: Securing Your Thoughts

  • Summary

  • Explore the transformative potential of AI in mental health support and the critical data privacy concerns that come with it. This episode dives into how AI chatbots and journaling tools offer 24/7 accessibility, reduce stigma, and provide personalized care. They also examine their limitations, like the lack of human empathy and the risks of misdiagnosis. We unpack serious privacy risks, including data breaches, third-party sharing, and re-identifiable health records, alongside strategies to protect users—think encryption, user consent, and ethical AI development. From the "privacy gold standard" of paper journaling to the trade-offs of AI-powered tools, we weigh the benefits and risks to help you navigate this evolving landscape. Tune in to learn how AI can support mental health without compromising user trust and safety.
