Workshop Description:

This workshop aims to provide psychologists with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively integrate digital tools and artificial intelligence (AI) into their clinical practice. Speaker will explore a range of AI-enabled tools applicable to diverse mental health settings, develop strategies for identifying opportunities to implement AI and digital technologies to enhance client outcomes, and learn how to select and seamlessly incorporate the most appropriate technologies into their therapeutic work. Additionally, the workshop will address critical ethical considerations associated with AI use in mental healthcare and examine the potential of generative AI tools in supporting and elevating psychological interventions and automated session summaries. The workshop integrates didactic presentations, practical demonstrations, and interactive discussions, ensuring participants gain both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience. By the end of the session, attendees will have a solid foundation in AI concepts, understand various use cases for AI across psychological service settings, and be prepared to apply these insights and tools in their clinical, educational, supervisory, or organizational work.
