MentalHealthBench tests AI beyond crisis conversations
MentalHealthBench gives researchers an open way to test whether AI handles everyday stress, relationships, and acute crises safely, not just whether it avoids prohibited replies. More than 80 licensed mental health experts across 22 countries helped create realistic conversations scored on safety, context-seeking, user agency, and actionable guidance. Researchers can inspect the methods, run their own evaluations, and use the results to improve models that guide people toward real-world support.
