In La Machine, le Médecin et Moi [1], I painted a picture of the uses of AI in health care. The present article takes a look at some of the observations made in this book from the angle of mental health. I propose a vision resolutely oriented toward the positive regulation of the use of these innovations in order to achieve efficiency gains within our healthcare system and above all an improvement in the quality of care. From this perspective, and contrary to certain received ideas, psychiatry is likely to be one of the most advanced areas of application of AI in health care. The technological responses to the COVID-19 pandemic show that we are very close to tipping over into the dystopia that I outlined in the two-volume speculative fiction novel S.A.R.R.A. [2]. To overcome these risks, we propose via the Ethik-IA initiative the rapid deployment of methodologies linked to the Human Guarantee of AI: to open ourselves up to innovation while regulating its risks.
