An Introduction to the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence in Clinical Practice

CE Hours 2

About this course

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not a replacement for human interaction or clinical expertise, but it is becoming more essential in the work that we do as mental health providers. However, there are concerns that the advancement of technology and use in society progresses faster than research and governing bodies can monitor. The American Psychological Association has now proposed updated ethical standards to guide psychologists in using technologies, including AI. Practitioners can use AI to monitor sessions and take notes, predict potential health behaviors using data and machine learning, and even administer advanced clinical interventions. In this presentation, Dr. Rowley will discuss ethical considerations regarding privacy, transparency, and equity for clinicians using AI. The new APA standards will be referenced, along with comparable ethical standards in clinical social work and clinical mental health counseling. This is part one of a CE Ethics series on AI in Mental Health.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe at least 3 updates to ethical guidelines in clinical practice related to AI
  • Connect professional ethical standards to AI technologies in respect to privacy, transparency, and equity in clinical practice

Learning Levels

  • Introductory – Content is designed for psychologists who may have little to no background in a specialized skill or content area. Through this level of programming, the learner can become acquainted with the theoretical underpinnings, principles, methods, and perspectives of a content area. An introductory level program also may serve as the foundation for subsequent intermediate and advanced learning. Introductory level programing may also be related to an emerging area of knowledge or practice. Although this content can be used as a foundation for more advanced learning, an introductory level program may simply focus on breadth, enrichment or general knowledge.
