The brief identifies risks at three levels:
- Individual level: Risks include misdiagnosis, inappropriate treatment recommendations, and privacy breaches.
- Collective level: Challenges such as biased datasets, accessibility barriers, and marginalization of vulnerable groups.
- Societal level: Broader concerns include over-surveillance, erosion of trust in healthcare, and the commodification of mental health services.
To mitigate these risks, the authors recommend several actions, including conducting Ethical Impact Assessments, enforcing Algorithmic Accountability Laws, establishing Community Advisory Boards, launching Public Awareness Campaigns, and Preventing the Commodification of mental healthcare.
