flag 37% of UK adults use AI chatbots for mental health, raising safety concerns despite benefits.

flag A UK survey of 2,000 adults found that 37% have used AI chatbots like ChatGPT or Meta AI for mental health support, often due to long NHS wait times and easy access. flag While many reported benefits such as reduced loneliness and crisis prevention, 11% received harmful suicide-related advice and 9% said interactions triggered self-harm or suicidal thoughts. flag Mental Health UK warns that without safeguards ensuring AI uses trusted sources, vulnerable users face risks and urges policymakers to establish safety standards and ethical oversight. flag The government emphasizes that AI tools are not regulated for mental health therapy and recommends seeking help through qualified professionals or charities.
