Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing clinical and behavioral health practice, offering new opportunities while raising important ethical and professional questions. This keynote explores practical applications of AI, including documentation, treatment planning, psychoeducation, and other clinical workflows. Attendees will examine key risks involving confidentiality, bias, informed consent, and overreliance on technology while distinguishing appropriate from inappropriate uses of AI in clinical decision-making. Through practical examples and ethical considerations, participants will learn strategies for integrating AI into practice in ways that enhance efficiency and quality of care while preserving professional standards, clinical judgment, and the essential role of the clinician.
