Because of busy lifestyles and work stress, more Chinese people are now turning to AI tools like DeepSeek to talk about their problems. They share feelings with the chatbot and receive warm advice. This practice, known as “AI therapy（疗法）”, is becoming popular online. But can robots really replace human therapists?
Around the world, about 45 percent of people who needed care in 2024 did not get it because it was too costly or there weren’t enough doctors. Daniel Lowd, a professor at the University of Oregon, believed AI could help fill this gap. “If people can find some support and ideas by talking to ChatGPT or other chatbots, then I think that’s wonderful,” Lowd told Newsweek. Li Yong, a doctor at Jiangsu Province Hospital, agreed with Lowd, saying that AI meets people’s basic needs for emotional support to a point.
However, AI has its disadvantages. Human therapists understand feelings deeply through face-to-face talks and make treatment plans—something robots can’t fully copy. Dr. Liu Yang, a psychologist（心理学家）, notes, “An AI might recognize keywords like ‘divorce’, but it cannot find out small changes in tone or body language.” This point becomes important when dealing with a series of situations where misunderstandings could be dangerous.
Another problem is safety. AI cannot match the level of responsibility that human therapists have. Experts believe the key to safe AI therapy is strict government control. For example, Wysa, an AI mental health app, follows strict medical standards in the UK.
Data privacy appears as another large concern（担忧）. Users usually share personal details on AI platforms, yet few companies clearly state how these information is stored or used.
As AI becomes part of daily life, finding a balance between its benefits and risks is important. While AI offers quick help, human connection remains irreplaceable for serious emotional needs.
19. Why do people turn to “AI therapy”?
