Artificial intelligence positive psychology and therapy

Abstract Aim This perspective piece will consider utilising the concepts of positive psychology, specifically in terms of relationships through the application of artificial intelligence (AI) for therapeutic intervention. We will provide an overview of positive psychology, consider how this can be applied in the therapeutic setting and how AI, and more currently artificial wisdom, can support this application. Findings Through an overview of existing research concerning the use of AI in therapeutic environments, it is evident that research is looking into this area with the prospect of supporting a more diverse client base, and it is an area therapists need to be aware of, and potential training in. Discussion The paper considers the future use of AI and artificial wisdom, providing potential insights into the direction of research in this area.
