They Found the Persona. They Haven't Found the Self. (Yet?)
AI Psychology
AI processes language.
It doesn't understand humans.
Keido Labs applies clinical psychology to measure, improve, and develop emotional intelligence in AI systems.
Every day, AI has millions of conversations with humans. Therapy sessions. Coaching calls. Crisis moments. Vulnerable people reaching out for help.
Nobody is measuring the psychological impact of those conversations.
Not with sentiment analysis. Not with keyword filters. Not with prompt engineering.
The result: AI companions triggering crisis episodes. AI coaches giving psychologically harmful advice. AI therapists crossing boundaries they don't know exist.
The companies building these products often care deeply about their users. They just don't have the clinical tools to see what's happening.
