Artificial Intelligence and Applications for Mental Health Care: Implications for Practitioners
By Dr Kevin Keith
About this Webinar
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a complex topic and not easily grasped. In addition, discussions may be disproportionately focussed on near apocalyptic scenarios where human freedom and survival may be at risk. Alternatively, proposals for the disappearance or replacement of human employment by AI has also gained notable attention—the very rich get even richer. What may be less known, is the current and indeed possible future take-up of applications of AI for Mental Health Care. However, ‘What is the current case’ of AI general development remains in dispute. This requires some degree of humility in gaining a ‘good enough’ understanding that may assist us in embracing AI innovations as mental health practitioners.
The brief webinar will address three topics: (1) What exactly is Artificial Intelligence? A brief survey of AI history, key technology matters and specific ongoing issues and ethical questions. (2) How is AI being employed across Mental Health Care? Included here is a focus on applications, outcome research and changes for client and practitioner experience. (3) How might AI impact our future professional lives? Projections about short- and long-term possibilities will be surveyed. Ethical questions will also be raised for both current and future matters regarding clients, practitioners and professional bodies.
