The Path Launches AI Therapy with Record Safety Score
The Path, a new AI therapy startup, claims its model scores 95 on a mental health safety benchmark, far surpassing existing consumer bots. This could make AI therapy more reliable for everyday users.
The Path, founded by Tony Robbins and former Calm executives, released an AI therapy model that scored 95 on the Vera-MH safety benchmark. This benchmark tests how well AI models handle sensitive mental health topics without causing harm. In plain English, this means their AI is less likely to give dangerous advice compared to other chatbots.
This matters because many people already turn to AI for emotional support, but current tools often lack safety safeguards. Imagine having a therapist who sometimes gives odd or even harmful advice—that’s the risk with today’s AI. The Path’s high score suggests their model could be a safer option for those seeking help.
