Abstract
An interest in artificial intelligence (AI) as a medical aid stemmed as research on mental health and psychology increased. Yet despite failing the Turing Test, AI continues to be used as a practical aid in the psychological community. From virtual reality simulations of everyday activities to robotic pet seals implemented in nursing homes, AI has found a home in the psychological field as a support for those in the medical field as well as those taking care of loved ones. In this paper, I aim to look at the stages of the Turing Test, how those are related to factoid and non-factoid questions and how current applications of AI are used in mental health treatments.
