AI Copilot Developed for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Researchers have developed Cognivia, an AI copilot designed to assist with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) by identifying cognitive distortions and generating rational responses. The system is built upon authoritative CBT texts and augmented with mental health Q&A data, then fine-tuned on a lightweight LLM. Cognivia aims to address the limitations of current AI in mental healthcare, such as lack of domain specificity and overly general responses, by integrating expert knowledge from behavioral science professionals. Evaluations indicate that Cognivia outperforms baseline methods in recognizing cognitive distortions and generating appropriate therapeutic responses. AI

IMPACT This AI copilot could expand access to evidence-based mental healthcare by assisting therapists and potentially offering support to individuals.
