This live and interactive webinar satisfies the Ethics requirement (3 hours) for clinical psychologists and social workers.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly prevalent in the behavioral health professions. AI is being used to conduct client risk assessments; provide resources to clients; assist people in crisis; strengthen prevention efforts; document clinical services; interact with clients using social robots; identify systemic biases in the delivery of behavioral health services; provide professional education and supervision; and predict practitioner burnout and service outcomes, among other uses. Ethical standards related to AI are evolving.
This webinar will examine cutting-edge ethical issues related to behavioral health practitioners’ use of AI; apply relevant ethical standards; and outline key elements of a strategy for practitioners’ ethical use of AI. Join Dr. Frederic Reamer as he examines ethical issues and risks related to informed consent and client autonomy; privacy and confidentiality; transparency; potential client misdiagnosis; client abandonment; client surveillance; plagiarism, dishonesty, fraud, deception, and misrepresentation; algorithmic bias and unfairness; and use of evidence-based AI tools.
Learning objectives: At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will be able to
• Identify the ways in which artificial intelligence is being used in the behavioral health professions
• Identify ethical issues and challenges associated with the use of artificial intelligence in the behavioral health professions
• Apply relevant ethics standards
• Develop ethics-informed policies and protocols to protect clients and practitioners
