The paper surveys 61 studies on mental‑health AI and identifies a misalignment in how trust is evaluated across disciplines. It proposes a three‑layer framework—human‑oriented, interaction‑oriented, and AI‑oriented trust—and maps stakeholder perspectives onto these layers. The authors argue that future research should focus on calibrating human trust to actual interaction and AI trustworthiness rather than merely maximizing perceived trust.

The paper proposes a mental model-based framework of trust that captures multidimensional aspects of trust and can be used to infer human trust in AI agents. It formalizes trust perception, trust evolution, human reliance, and decision-making, and defines the appropriate level of trust in the agent. Human subject studies evaluate whether adjusting human beliefs about the agent, as predicted by the framework, can change trust perceptions across performance, process, and purpose dimensions.

The paper introduces Safety Nudges, a browser-based tool that displays lightweight, in situ flags when a conversational AI exhibits risky behavior such as hallucination or overconfidence. In a two‑week field study with 45 frequent chatbot users, participants reported that the nudges were useful, clear, and minimally disruptive, and most felt more aware of potential AI harms. However, increased awareness did not automatically translate into measurable changes in user behavior, underscoring the need for relevance, calibration, and user control in nudge design.

Anian is a safety‑gated multimodal AI backend designed for perinatal mental‑health support and mindfulness‑intervention routing. It maps user input into a four‑layer hierarchical state representation—emotion, psychosocial constructs, safety risk, and intervention routes—then fuses local and external risk signals to decide whether to generate AI responses or provide fixed safety content. Prototype evaluation on large public corpora showed high classification performance and perfect high‑risk recall in a controlled stress test, though clinical validity remains unestablished.
