overview
ChatGPT is in your clients’ pockets, AI scribes are in colleagues’ offices, and mental health apps are in the waiting room. This three-hour session with Dr. Alexis Fabricius is an introduction to the intersection of clinical psychology and artificial intelligence: how these tools actually work, where client data goes when they are used, and how to decide, tool by tool, what belongs in your practice and what does not.

The session covers foundational concepts first: what generative AI, AI scribes, and mental health apps are, and how they differ from the software psychologists already use. From there it follows the data: how client information flows through AI-enabled tools, what privacy claims vendors make, and how to evaluate those claims rather than take them on trust.

The practical middle of the session takes up mental health apps, whether and how they might be used with clients, and generative AI in clinical work, whether and how it can be used responsibly. The emphasis throughout is on the skills to critically evaluate these technologies as they change, rather than a verdict on any one product, with attention to privacy, consent, ethics, and the social and professional implications of bringing these tools into practice.

Ample time is reserved for questions and real-world concerns.

Upon completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:

1. Describe foundational concepts in artificial intelligence relevant to clinical psychology, including how generative AI tools, AI scribes, and mental health apps work and how they differ.
2. Explain how client data flows through AI-enabled tools, and evaluate the privacy and data-governance claims vendors make about them.
3. Assess whether and how mental health apps might be used with clients, applying criteria for privacy, evidence, and clinical fit.
4. Analyze the ethical, social, and professional implications of using generative AI in clinical practice, including consent and responsible-use considerations.
5. Apply a critical-evaluation framework to emerging AI technologies to decide what belongs in their own practice and under what safeguards.
