📰 This Week’s Top AI News
🛠️ AI Investments Need Stronger Testing
A recent survey by Applause exposes a critical gap between significant investments in generative AI and the lack of comprehensive testing in the software development lifecycle (SDLC). Despite over 70% of developers building AI-powered tools like chatbots, only 33% use best practices like red teaming for risk mitigation. This shortfall has led to common user issues, including biased or inaccurate responses, prompting 30% of users to switch platforms. The report stresses embedding rigorous testing practices and diverse datasets earlier in development to improve productivity—boosting by up to 74% for some businesses—and delivering safer, more reliable AI solutions. Read the full findings in the State of Digital Quality in AI Survey.
In short this means that the people building AI don’t even know what it can do. Users are finding the possibilities and limitations before the builders do.
🧠 AI Therapy Showing Results
Clinical trials of “Therabot,” an AI-powered mental health assistant, reveal notable symptom reductions in patients with depression and anxiety. While AI can’t replace traditional therapy, these findings hint at a breakthrough for supporting underserved mental health needs.
What’s your take—would you trust an AI-powered therapy chatbot for mental health support?
I’ve definitely vented to AI when I knew it wouldn’t help the situation to vent to a person directly. AI is great with reframing!
