From schools and workplaces to the phones in our pockets, AI tools are everywhere. As more people use generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and others in their daily lives, concerns are rising among mental health and technology researchers about how these tools can affect the way we think and feel—not necessarily for the better.

Join us as experts from the University of Michigan Department of Psychiatry and School of Information discuss the risks of using AI tools and chatbots when it comes to our mental health and wellbeing. They will break down how this technology can negatively impact our mental health, what mental health workers are seeing with their patients in the real world, and what we can all do to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe. By avoiding the pitfalls of these technologies, we can prevent these tools from hijacking our attention in unproductive ways that hold us back from living our lives fully.

This event is brought to you in partnership with the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan.
