Abstract:
Artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, including neuropsychological practice, is touted as offering transformative potential—ranging from enhanced diagnostic accuracy to reduced administrative burdens via generative AI scribes—but presents significant challenges in safety, equity, and accountability. Many clinical neuropsychologists have questions about the role of AI in our practice. Increasingly, we see references to “responsible” and ethical AI use, raising questions about the burden of responsibility for this practice, including as institutional and social positions develop around us, affecting public sentiment and work practices. In this rapidly changing practice environment, this expert AI panel provides vital insights into key regulations, guidelines, and practice tips.
Learning objectives:
1. Update understanding of key regulations and guidelines on AI use in healthcare and neuropsychological practice.
2. Further insights and awareness of safety, equity and accountability issues related to AI use in healthcare.
3. Deepen knowledge of current and potential future applications of AI in contemporary neuropsychological practice and healthcare.
Level: This panel will suit clinical neuropsychologists with any level of experience, with an interest in artificial intelligence in psychological practice. No background knowledge is required.
