On the Mind with Dr. Daniel Knoepflmacher · On AI and Mental Health: It's Already Here. Are We Ready? · 23 Jun 2026 podcast

And so they might be very spiky, extremely good, certainly superhuman in some

capacities, but also very dull in other places where very common sense things that we just take for granted that any child would understand or be able to do, they end up failing at.

You know, for a while there was a meme about them not being able to count the number of R's in strawberry, that type of thing.

And that's been patched over, but there will be other things similar to that.

And then I think doctors, there will always be a need to adjudicate the output that comes from an LLM, let's say.

So it may give you a series of differential diagnosis, or it may give you what its opinion is, or pull together the medical evidence and point you towards a particular path of action.

But someone needs to be able to take that all that in and use their judgment to make the use of a very powerful tool.

And I think doctors are gonna continue to be those people.

And I'll just mention a couple other things.

There will be a role for someone to manage the uncertainty with any diagnosis or any treatment plan.

So we have to manage uncertainty.

We have to elicit patients' values and preferences, try to understand what is important to them.

And then at the end of the day, someone needs to take responsibility for all that care.

And people want, I think, a human, a person who they can look at, who they understand has their best interest in mind, to take responsibility for the care that is being delivered.

So I guess that's a long winded way of saying there's still a lot of things that that we need doctors for and that we will need doctors for.

A few years ago before Chat GBT was released, I think the obvious thing to say would be that radiology and pathology would be the places that would be most disrupted.

But so much of AI, particularly the way that the public experiences it, is through chatbots, which are fundamentally about language.

And psychiatry is people who are skilled in the use of language and directing people's thoughts through language.

And so, in a way, it seems like parts of psychiatry or parts of mental

Health care are potentially amenable to these types of things.
