Mental health is a vast and growing worldwide problem. Because it can affect people at a young age,they will often need treatment and support for many years. During that time,they may be unable to participate at their full potential in society. This explains why,in addition to the suffering experienced by individuals and their families,mental health problems also have an enormous economic and societal impact.

"AI has seen exponential growth and astonishing breakthroughs in recent years,and it has the potential to impact every aspect of modern life and society," said Chrissy Luo,Chen Institute Co-founder. "Scientists and clinicians are exploring AI's power for mental health research and treatment and the first results are enormously promising."

This year's two-day,English conference will highlight how AI can be used to benefit individuals and society. Over the course of these two days,our speakers will discuss the current state of AI and why we have recently seen such astonishing progress. Global speakers will also review promising applications of AI for the diagnosis and treatment of mental health.

"Science is at the forefront of emerging science and,together with the Chen Institute,we have been closely engaged with scientists and researchers who are unlocking the tremendously powerful potential of using artificial intelligence in the treatment and management of mental health," said Peter Stern,Senior Editor at Science Magazine.
