Can AI Help Social Workers Without Replacing What Makes Them Human?

Social workers are burned out, understaffed, and drowning in paperwork. Is AI an unlikely lifeline? Dr. Marina Badillo-Diaz, founder of the AI Social Worker and professor at NYU and Columbia, joins Doug Atkinson to explore what happens when millions of people turn to chatbots for mental health support, whether human therapists are replaceable, and what the rise of AI means for a generation of kids who may never need to go to college. A grounded, urgent conversation about the human cost of the AI revolution from someone working at the front lines of it.
