Exploring AI Psychosis (feat. Dr. Ian Gold, author of Suspicious Minds)

Welcome back to The FAIK Files!

In this week's special interview episode:

We sit down with Dr. Ian Gold, Professor of Philosophy & Psychiatry at McGill University, and author of Suspicious Minds.

We define the slippery boundaries between psychosis, delusion, and conspiracy theories - and where those become 'clinical'.

A deep dive into "AI Psychosis," the "Truman Show Delusion," and whether AI models are the first real "Philosophical Zombies."

We explore how culture and environment—including the virtual environment of the internet—act as risk factors for mental illness.
