Distressing news and traumatic stories can cause stress and anxiety—not only in humans, but also in AI language models, such as ChatGPT. Researchers from the University of Zurich and the University Hospital of Psychiatry Zurich have now shown that these models, like humans, respond to therapy: an elevated “anxiety level” in GPT-4 can be “calmed down” using mindfulness-based relaxation techniques.Distressing news and traumatic stories can cause stress and anxiety—not only in humans, but also in AI language models, such as ChatGPT.

It learns from historical data shaped by human biases, absorbing and perpetuating discrimination in the process. This means that, rather than creating inequality, AI reproduces and reinforces it.Researchers challenge the widespread belief that AI-induced bias is a technical flaw, arguing instead that AI is deeply influenced by societal power dynamics.
