Preparing AI chatbots to respond to patient distress and suicidality in high-risk healthcare settings
npj Digital Medicine, Published online: 22 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41746-026-03288-9 Generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots are conversational agents that simulate human-like conversations in real-time, including behavioral health support, thus presenting challenges for monitoring and intervening on suicide risk. There is little information on how to address suicide risk in chatbot deployments, despite calls and concerns. We describe suicide safety monitoring features for a chatbot implemented in a high-risk clinical setting and make recommendations for chatbot design alongside human-monitoring and triage.
