Artificial intelligence and addiction recovery – sounds like a sci-fi plot, right? Well, in this episode of the SMART Recovery® Podcast, Zachary Gidwitz, CEO and co-founder of Open Recovery, joins host Luke Frazier to chat about how AI can actually support those on their journey to sobriety. Zachary shares his personal story of overcoming addiction and how it led him to develop Kai, an AI-powered recovery assistant.
Kai is designed to provide tailored support and resources to individuals, particularly those following the 12-Step methodology, but with plans to expand its capabilities to include SMART Recovery techniques. Zachary explains how AI can help break down barriers that often prevent people from seeking help, such as stigma and limited recovery options. By customising responses based on individual needs, Kai offers a unique approach to fostering human connection and encouraging engagement in recovery programs.
The conversation also touches on the challenges of merging cutting-edge technology with traditional recovery methods and the potential for AI to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for those in need. If you're curious about the future of addiction recovery and how technology can play a role, this episode is a must-listen.
