A chatbot can sound calm, considered, and confident while giving advice that causes real harm. It has no license to lose, no one to be reported to, and no obligation that survives the chat window closing. That is not a small gap. It is the central problem with AI in mental health in 2026.

Microsoft Edge is adding a new feature that will allow its Copilot AI chatbot to gather information from all of your open tabs.
