The case for medical Accommodations

There are any number of reasons why people may want a medical exemption from AI use. They might be related to concerns about:

• Links between AI use and “AI psychosis”

• AI sycophancy can decrease prosocial behavior

• Healthy development in young people may be hindered by too much access to generative AI

On AI and mental health

There is quite a bit of ongoing research about the topic of “AI psychosis” specifically and the relationship between AI use and mental health generally.

See:

• “The Emerging Problem of AI Psychosis,” Psychology Today (2025)

• Delusional Experiences and Chatbots, National Library of Medicine

• “What is AI Psychosis?” National Academy of Medicine

People with pre-existing conditions may be especially vulnerable to AI-psychosis.

There are many instances of AI exacerbated mental health problems, even apart from "AI psychosis.”
