Charity setting up AI chatbot to provide support for veterans
As Anzac day approaches, a charity's taking veteran's support into its own hands - setting up an AI chatbot to provide therapy because it said veterans affairs is failing to do its job. No Duff charitable trust created the chatbot and trained it in crisis support, mindfulness and breathing modules. The charity is fed up with the lack of support available to veterans in this country, including one man who told Checkpoint he became suicidal while struggling to get support from Veteran's Affairs and dealing with a brain injury from his service. Luka Forman has more.
