However, they say that the findings are still concerning, as they suggest that advanced A.I. could one day experience mental health problems just like humans do. “We shouldn’t be surprised if artificial intelligence develops similar issues to those faced by human beings,” said study co-author Klaus Haberstroh of Oxford University’s Department https://drchristopherzed.net/ai-the-ability-to-express-depression/
