Should we utilize psychotherapeutic algorithms (algorithmic therapists) to help people and reduce human suffering?

• 

A new tool has been created, going on the direction of therapeutic algorithm. Mental health researchers have been using machine learning (ML) techniques to improve outcomes. For example, recent studies have reported high predictive accuracy in distinguishing patients with bipolar disorder from healthy individuals by using neurocognitive data, and biomarkers. Another work was able to predict which disordered patients would attempt suicide.
