AI and Me: A Personal Journey to Revolutionising Mental Health

This keynote combines personal narrative and cutting-edge science. It explores the transformative potential of AI in mental health. Drawing on his own journey through mental illness, Dr Paris Alexandros Laloulis will share how the challenges of navigating diagnosis, treatment, and recovery shaped his vision for using AI to revolutionise mental health care. This personal lens will segue into a discussion of his research at King’s College London, where he leads efforts to harness AI for early detection, personalised interventions, and scalable solutions for conditions like psychosis and depression.

By interweaving lived experience with scientific innovation, this session will illustrate the human impact of AI advancements, addressing both its potential and ethical considerations. Attendees will gain insight into how AI can democratise mental health care, making it more accessible and personalised, and leave with an understanding of how AI research is bridging the gap between technology and humanity in health care.

You do not need any prior knowledge of AI to enjoy this event, but it may be of particular interest to those working in mental health or have experience of mental illness.
