Summary
AI-generated from the abstractPsychedelics and artificial intelligence both alter cognitive frameworks, disrupt rigid thinking, and boost neuroplasticity, which may help treat depression, PTSD, and addiction. By relaxing neural filters, they induce altered states of consciousness that challenge how reality is perceived. This viewpoint examines the neurobiological mechanisms behind these effects and considers how AI could enhance psychiatric treatments.

Abstract
Psychedelics and AI modulate cognitive frameworks, disrupt rigid thought patterns, and enhance neuroplasticity, offering therapeutic potential for depression, PTSD, and addiction. Relaxing neural filters reveal altered states of consciousness, challenging perceptions of reality. This Viewpoint explores their neurobiological mechanisms and AI's role in augmenting psychiatric treatments.
