AI Potential

Angus Barge, co-founder of Mojo, explores the potential of AI in enhancing therapeutic relationships. He emphasizes that AI should not replace human connections but rather serve as an enabler for real-life interactions. Angus shares that their AI coach for dating, sex, and relationships has shown promise in handling conversations better than average therapists, suggesting a future where AI can play a significant role in therapy.

The technology is there and the way we've been able to train it is already there to kind of handle singular conversations.

Scott Galloway questions whether AI could surpass human therapists, to which Angus responds that while AI can manage conversations effectively, building a deep, ongoing therapeutic relationship remains a challenge 1 2.

   

Therapeutic Safety

Ensuring safety in AI-driven therapy is a primary concern for Angus and his team. They have implemented rigorous safety frameworks, including a team of therapists reviewing all conversations to ensure appropriateness and safety. This approach aims to mitigate risks associated with AI therapy, addressing concerns about the reliance on algorithms for emotional support.

The rigor that you can put into that now is very kind of complex.
