How can Artificial Intelligence and Robotics
help against loneliness?
In the unexpected lockdown and quarantine
scenario due to covid-19, loneliness and
depression have increased. The suicide rate is
higher than before because of a lack of
conversation and people need sympathetic ears
that can listen to them without any judgements
and keep their talks in private.
In the lack of companionship, everyone is in
search of a friend who can listen to them,
motivate them and guide them to the right path.
In the solution for this problem, several mental
health organizations and researchers have
accepted the idea of Artificial Intelligence in
Mental health. They have made a solution for this
problem by developing a Mental health chatbot to
help a lonely and depressed person.
