Verdict
While AI can assist with certain diagnostic and treatment processes, the deeply human aspects of psychiatry, such as empathy and interpersonal communication, are challenging for AI to replicate. Therefore, the risk of AI substitution is moderate, with significant roles remaining for human psychiatrists.
