IBM’s New AI Can Predict Psychosis in Your Speech

Computational Psychiatry and Neuroimaging experts around the globe have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) capable of predicting with relative precision the onset of psychosis in a patient.

[…] demonstrating the possibility of using AI to model the differences in speech patterns of high-risk patients who later developed psychosis and those who did not. Specifically, they quantified the concepts of “poverty of speech” and “flight of ideas” as syntactic complexity and semantic coherence, respectively, using an AI method called Natural Language Processing (NLP).
