Artificial Intelligence
AI Use and Risks in Clinical Settings
This presentation examines the use of artificial intelligence in clinical settings and the emerging legal and clinical risks. It incorporates recent state legislation aimed at restricting AI from impersonating licensed professionals, along with active litigation such as Raine v. OpenAI, where AI systems are alleged to have reinforced suicidal ideation. Clinical risks include AI psychosis, over-attachment and consistent failure to manage crisis situations. For practitioners, the training addresses direct exposure risks: potential HIPAA violations when entering client information into unsecured systems; over-reliance on AI for diagnosis and documentation; and the resulting erosion of clinical judgment and skill. The session provides a clear framework for where AI may assist practice and where it creates liability.
