Research indicates that AI language models, like ChatGPT, can experience stress and anxiety from negative emotional content. This study reveals that GPT-4's anxiety levels can be reduced through mindfulness-based relaxation techniques, similar to human therapy. The findings highlight the sensitivity of AI to emotionally charged narratives, which can exacerbate existing biases.
The research conducted by the University of Zurich and collaborators demonstrates that traumatic stories significantly increase AI anxiety levels. By employing therapeutic prompts, researchers successfully calmed the AI, suggesting a cost-effective method to enhance the emotional stability of AI systems. This approach could be particularly beneficial in healthcare settings where AI chatbots interact with sensitive content.
