Sentio AI Research Program

Sentio University advances the scientific discourse on safe AI implementation, built upon a foundation of peer-reviewed research and strategic partnerships with world-leading AI safety organizations.

  • Setting Educational Standards: We are the first to develop a hands-on AI Certification Course that trains clinicians to use AI as a tool for clinical reasoning without sacrificing human empathy.

  • Leading with Evidence-Based Research: While many programs offer opinions on AI, Sentio is actively publishing the data that shapes the field. Our broad range of research includes a national survey identifying AI as a major mental health provider, a clinical safety evaluation comparing how leading LLMs handle crisis scenarios, and one of the largest qualitative studies on how users actually experience AI for mental health support.

  • Collaborating with Global AI Safety Leaders: Through our collaboration with the Digital Safety Research Institute (DSRI) at UL Research Institutes, we are conducting expert-led "red teaming" of AI systems. By involving licensed clinicians in evaluating AI responses to high-risk crisis scenarios, we are helping to build the first expert-informed safety benchmarks to protect vulnerable users globally.

  • Influencing Global Policy: As an affiliate of International Association for Safe and Ethical AI (IASEAI), Sentio is working to ensure that the specific needs of the mental health field are represented in global AI governance discussions.
