Mental health crisis is a matter of huge concern in recent times where one-fourth of the adult population is estimated to be affected by mental disorders. Depression alone affects roughly 300 million people around the globe, as stated by World Health Organization. Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers multiple opportunities to people suffering from mental disorders. Computational Psychiatry and specialized chatbots for counselling and therapeutic services are the two emerging fields where AI is expected to yield the biggest benefit. Computational Psychiatry combines multiple levels and types of computation with multiple types of data to improve understanding, diagnostics, prediction and treatment of mental disorders. Besides, AI can help researches discover physical symptoms of mental illness and track within the body the effectiveness of various interventions. Moreover chatbots provide immediate counselling services to the patients at a cost which is lower than seeing a psychiatrist or psychologist. This has expanded the coverage to a broader circle of people who require treatment. Thus the development of AI for mental health promises better access and better care at a cost that won’t break the bank.

With Google describing it as “Intelligence exhibited by machines’’, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the ability of a machine to think and learn smartly like humans. With its extensive use in business, industries, healthcare, it has become an indispensable part of our lives, making it fun and easy. With the world pacing rapidly, can we think of day in our lives without a Google assistant or a Siri or an Amazon Alexa? AI has the potential of bringing about changes and development that is beyond human imagination. However it remains highly doubtful if AI can solve issues like poverty and epidemics. AI can be a potential job destroyer boosting unemployment and inequality. Having said that, we should remember that nothing can beat human understanding and problem solving skills. Afterall we live in a world where relationship is the priority. By keeping us updated and gaining the necessary knowledge we can definitely survive in a world of transformational change!

Data is very important for various technologies. Whether it be Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning, Data analysis or Research work, Data is mandatory to implement them. However, the task of finding right data is very tedious and time consuming. One needs to find data that is most appropriate in terms of information available, size and other factors. 

Every day a huge amount is data is generated on internet. To our help there are few open data sources that are free to use. This data can be in raw form which might need further processing. But to start with the process and to get a data set, one could visit below mentioned sites that provides data for free: 

1. Kaggle
2. UCI machine learning repository
3. data.gov

However, it is believed that expertise interested in data sciences are not widely spread. Data Sciences is a field that can improve business, can help in other technological fields, can help in decision making and more. 

It is rightly said that prevention is better than cure. A wrong step in data sciences can affect the decisions and the results. One should avoid the following mistakes while dealing with data:

1. Assuming your data is ready to use and all you need
2. Not exploring your data set before starting work
3. Not using control group to test your new data model in action
4. Starting with targets rather than hypotheses
5. Automating without monitoring the final outcome
