False Empathy: The Risks of AI in Mental Health Care

By B.C RAMS

They can mirror our pain, but can they ever feel it?

Artificial Intelligence is entering the world of therapy and counseling, offering chatbots and digital platforms that promise 24/7 emotional support. But behind the convincing words and polished tone lies a troubling truth: AI doesn't feel. It performs. And mistaking this performance for genuine care could come with dangerous consequences.

In False Empathy: The Risk of AI in Mental Health, this book examines how machines simulate compassion, why people are drawn to trust them, and what's truly at stake when we let algorithms redefine human connection.

You'll discover:

Why AI's "empathy" is an illusionThe risks of relying on artificial care for real strugglesHow synthetic compassion could reshape-and even damage-mental health care

Timely, thought-provoking, and deeply relevant, False Empathy invites readers to question whether empathy should ever be coded-or if it must remain uniquely, authentically human.
