As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve, its integration into personal aspects of life, including mental health, is becoming increasingly significant. OpenAI has announced a call for applications to fund research proposals that explore this intersection, aiming to enhance our understanding and improve the efficacy of AI in supporting mental well-being. This initiative not only seeks to bolster OpenAI’s safety measures but also aims to foster independent research that can lead to innovative solutions in the mental health space.
