To date, AI psychosis has been discussed primarily as a public or mental health concern. In this report, we examine the scope of this phenomenon and whether and how LLMs—and, eventually, future artificial general intelligence (AGI) systems—could create significant national security threats. Can this capability be weaponized to induce psychosis at scale or in target groups? What kind of damage might that cause? We assess which targets may be most vulnerable, the potential scope of harm, and how adversaries might exploit this capability against key individuals, groups, or populations.
