We try to envision the possible use of AI by individuals affected by EDs and by clinicians, in terms of prevention, support to treatment, and development of new and actually personalized treatment strategies. We then focus on how the introduction of AI into psychotherapy could either represent an element of disruption for the therapeutical relationship or be positively and creatively integrated into session and inter-sessional dynamics. As technological advancements open scenarios where anyone could have access to a personal and all-knowing \u201coracle\u201d, the ability to formulate questions, individuals\u2019 experiences, and the scientific rigor with which clinicians study them must remain at the center of our work. Ethical and legal issues about the use of AI are also considered.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s40519-023-01579-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,19]],"date-time":"2023-06-19T17:01:34Z","timestamp":1687194094000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["The oracle of Delphi 2.0: considering artificial intelligence as a challenging tool for the treatment of eating disorders"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5826-5664","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giovanni","family":"Abbate-Daga","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alberto","family":"Taverna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8877-0138","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matteo","family":"Martini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"1579_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"167","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.ajp.23180001","volume":"180","author":"C Crone","year":"2023","unstructured":"Crone C, Fochtmann LJ, Attia E et al (2023) The american psychiatric association practice guideline for the treatment of patients with eating disorders.
