Law & Ethics of the Clinical Use of Artificial Intelligence

Description

While new and emerging technologies can provide clinicians with powerful and effective clinical tools, such technologies also have the potential to create a range of new challenges. In this workshop, we will address the specific legal and ethical implications of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in the practice of behavioral health. We will identify and discuss the evolving standards found in federal law, state law, and professional codes of ethics.  Participants will gain the ability to identify and implement a legally and ethically sound approach to evaluating and implementing new AI technologies in clinical practice.
