Title: Clinician in the Loop: Ethical AI Use in Mental Health Practice
\nDescription
\nArtificial intelligence tools are rapidly entering clinical and administrative workflows in mental health care, including report writing, documentation support, psychoeducation, treatment planning, communication, and clinical decision support. These tools offer meaningful opportunities to improve efficiency and accessibility, but they also introduce ethical and practical risks that clinicians cannot delegate to the technology itself.
\nThis presentation provides a clinically grounded overview of AI applications in mental health practice, with particular attention to ethical decision-making. Participants will examine common uses of AI, emerging evidence on its strengths and limitations, and the major ethical concerns associated with clinical implementation, including privacy and confidentiality, informed consent, bias and equity, hallucinated or inaccurate output, professional competence, automation bias, deskilling, and practitioner accountability. The presentation emphasizes a balanced position: AI is neither a replacement for clinical expertise nor a technology to be categorically avoided, but a tool that requires deliberate governance, transparent use, careful monitoring, and continued human responsibility.<\/p>\n

Presenter: Ryan L. Farmer, PhD is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Memphis, where he directs the MA\/EdS School Psychology Program and serves as Clinic Director of the Psychological Services Center. He teaches graduate coursework and co-directs the School Psychology Applications research lab with Dr. Randy Floyd. Dr. Farmer serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of School Psychology and School Psychology Review, chairs the APA Division 16 Ethics Committee, serves as co-chair of the Association for Psychological Training Clinic's Research Committee, and was a member of NASP's AI Task Force. His research focuses on low-value practices in school psychology, professional AI adoption, and the research-to-practice gap.<\/p>\n

Learning Goals
\nDescribe common and emerging uses of AI in mental health practice, including documentation, report writing, psychoeducation, treatment planning, and administrative support.
\nIdentify major ethical risks associated with AI use in clinical settings, including threats to confidentiality, inadequate informed consent, biased output, hallucinations, inaccurate clinical recommendations, and unclear data governance.
\nApply core ethical principles to AI-assisted clinical work, including beneficence, nonmaleficence, justice, autonomy, confidentiality, professional competence, and accountability.
\nEvaluate when AI use is clinically appropriate, inappropriate, or permissible only with safeguards, particularly when client-identifiable information, diagnostic reasoning, treatment recommendations, or culturally responsive care are involved.
\nDevelop practical strategies for responsible AI use, including protecting client information, obtaining meaningful consent, reviewing AI-generated content, documenting human oversight, avoiding overreliance, and ensuring that AI supplements rather than replaces professional judgment.
