MIT Media Lab takes a futuristic spin on self-help with the "Future You" project. This initiative leverages AI-powered simulations, including personalized chatbots and AI-rendered avatars, to introduce users to their potential selves at age 60, aiming to foster long-term thinking and behavior change. Participants engage with AI-powered simulations, which include personalized chatbots and AI-generated images, to explore their future experiences, memories, and insights.
Unlike traditional therapy-focused chatbots, this project targets future-self continuity, a psychological construct linked to reduced anxiety and improved decision-making. Through web-based accessibility and personalized interactions, participants report heightened emotional connections and decreased anxiety post-conversation. While promising, the study's scalability and long-term impact remain areas for further exploration
