The AI Awareness Arc was developed by Jeremy G. Schneider, LMSW, MFT, a therapist and longtime Chief Technology Officer working at the intersection of mental health and technology. The framework emerged from two years of personal AI use, clinical observation, writing, research, and teaching, including continuing education courses and guest lectures at universities and a Psychology Today column on AI and mental health with over 10 published articles, including three designated an Essential Read, with more than 14,000 views.

This framework is actively developed and refined through clinical training and ongoing research collaboration. It has not yet been formally validated; clinical feedback and research collaboration are actively welcomed.
