Why are people using AI for therapy?

We speak to people who are increasingly using AI chatbots for therapy.

AI is having an ever increasing impact on the world of medicine and health. Today we are looking at the increasing role of AI as a therapist, and speaking to people who already use it in this way. We also speak to our ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ reporter about the potential risks of AI therapy.

We speak to our correspondents across the world about Donald Trump's meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu, and what this means for Gaza, Israel and the US.

And we hear the story of a man who was forcibly taken from his captive mother as a newborn during Argentina's military rule and raised by strangers. He's been identified after 48 years, thanks to a DNA test.
