This article discusses the potential of using artificial intelligence (AI) personas to provide mental health advice and diagnose human psychological disorders. The author highlights a recent research study that successfully used AI personas to perform medical diagnoses, and then attempts a mini-experiment in a mental health analysis context.
The author begins by explaining the concept of AI personas and their capabilities, including simulating different roles and providing various forms of assistance. They provide examples of how AI personas can be used in real-world scenarios, such as enhancing psychological analysis acumen or generating responses to surveys.
Next, the author describes a research study that utilized AI personas to perform medical diagnoses, with an 80% diagnostic accuracy compared to human doctors. The study highlights the potential benefits of using AI personas in medical diagnosis, including increasing access to expert knowledge and improving cost-effectiveness.
The author then attempts a mini-experiment in a mental health analysis context, using a publicly available case history from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN). They provide an example of how they used five AI personas to analyze the case: Dr. Supposition, Dr. Selector, Dr. Contender, Dr. Thoughtful, and Dr. Double-Checker.
The mini-experiment aimed to orchestrate the AI personas in a way that would mimic human physicians conferring about a diagnosis. The author provided the LLM with questions related to the case history and compared the responses from the AI panel with those posted online and considered correct. Surprisingly, the AI panel’s initial response matched overall with the posted solution.
The article concludes by highlighting the potential benefits of using AI personas in mental health analysis, including leveraging synergy and achieving better results than a single LLM would provide on its own.
