I'd welcome AI contributions in warning society about malignant narcissists, sociopaths & psychopaths, because CNI has unlimited creative angles that are only restrained by time and resources. However, since most humans miss a lot of the abstraction & nuance of the psychology, I don't expect anything very helpful, accurate or useful out of AI for quite a while.

One positive outcome of the Google Glass experiment was that researchers at Stanford University used Glass to help children with autism read social cues and improve their social skills. AI glasses will enable this far better not only for autistic children but for everyone on the spectrum and beyond. Here's the problem. The user has to care. The application will be a choice. We have the same problem with disinformation. The solution is: Get all your news from reputable sources. But millions of people don't want that.

Therapy doesn't really work for pathological narcissists (BPD excluded) for the same reason. They can't or won't believe there is anything to fix & thus don't even try. Most experts say all therapy does is teach them how to manipulate the system & people better. Hmm. Just had a thought on how AI may be useful in the effort. Off to ponder. Salute!
