Copewell: A Multi-Agent Swarm Architecture for Equitable Mental Wellness Support

精选理由

Arxiv上发了篇Copewell的论文,搞多智能体群组做心理支持,用情绪模型路由到不同专家AI,还有伦理监督。想了解AI心理健康新架构可以看看。

AI 摘要

Copewell 是一个多智能体群组系统,旨在扩大心理健康支持的可及性。其架构包含三项技术创新:多源评估框架整合自报告、生理和上下文数据以减少算法偏见;基于Russell的环状情绪模型进行价态-唤醒情绪映射,将用户路由至专业化AI智能体;以及双模式干预,结合对话支持与基于证据的感官健康协议。系统还设有专用伦理监督智能体以嵌入道德监督。早期从业者参与和beta部署已为设计提供信息,但该研究尚未进行大规模实证评估。

Copewell: A Multi-Agent Swarm Architecture for Equitable Mental Wellness Support

Mental health disorders affect nearly one billion people globally, yet 75% of individuals in low- and middle-income countries receive no treatment due to workforce shortages, cost barriers, and stigma. Current AI-powered wellness solutions predominantly rely on single-mode conversational interfaces that suffer high abandonment rates and fail to provide measurable, immediate relief calibrated to users' dynamic emotional states. This paper presents Copewell, a novel multi-agent swarm system designed to expand access to mental wellness support through human-centered AI principles. Our architecture introduces three technical innovations: (1) a multi-source assessment framework integrating self-reported, physiological, and contextual data to mitigate algorithmic bias; (2) valence-arousal emotion mapping using Russell's Circumplex Model of Affect to route users to specialized AI agents; and (3) dual-mode intervention delivery combining conversational support with evidence-based sensory wellness protocols. We examine the sociotechnical design considerations underlying Copewell's development, including a privacy-first architecture, embedded ethical oversight through a dedicated Ethics Supervisor agent, and participatory design informed by mental health practitioners. Early practitioner engagement and beta deployment inform design decisions and identify directions for future empirical evaluation. This work contributes to responsible AI discourse by demonstrating how technical architecture can operationalize equity and safety principles from inception.
