Artificial Intelligence Discontinuation Effects (AI-DICE): An Emerging Phenomenon in Mental Health Applications
Overview
This paper introduces Artificial Intelligence Discontinuation Effects (AI-DICE), a conceptual framework addressing the psychological consequences of abrupt AI intervention termination. It draws parallels to therapist abandonment and suggests mitigation strategies informed by clinical modalities such as CBT, ACT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing. The resource is primarily theoretical, focusing on ethical challenges like transparency and long-term user access rather than providing empirical data or clinical protocols.
