  • Playing with the dials of belief

    Open AccessHamilton Morrin, Luke Nicholls et al.ARTICLEAI & Society2026

    Contemporary generative AI systems, increasingly adapted to human social cognition, are becoming active participants in how people form and revise beliefs. Clinicians have begun to describe AI-associated delusion-centred presentations whose onset or content appears closely associated with users’ extended dialogue with large language models.

    Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) mediated by antibodies against synaptic and neuronal surface targets frequently presents with a psychiatric syndrome. In these patients, removal of autoantibodies treats the disease and outcomes are closely linked to early intervention. The discovery of these autoantibodies in isolated psychiatric syndromes has raised the possibility that these patients may derive similar benefits from immunotherapy, a potentially tra…
