Verdict
While certain technical aspects of therapy can be supported by AI, the core interpersonal skills required for effective therapy, such as empathy and active listening, remain challenging for AI to replicate. Therefore, the risk of AI substitution is moderate, with human therapists still essential for nuanced emotional support.
