Conversational AI's inconsistencies pose serious risks

When suicidal ideation or self-harm is detected by a conversational AI, developers and deploying organizations are inconsistently deciding how the AI should handle that interaction. We believe there is a better way, pulling from a centralized resource called the Behavioral Health Intent Library (BHIL).
