Content By: Fiske, A., Henningsen, P., & Buyx, A. (2019). Your robot therapist will see you now: Ethical implications of embodied artificial intelligence in psychiatry, psychology, and psychotherapy. Journal of Medical Internet Research, 21 (5), e13216.

Course Description: Increasing evidence supports the integration of embodied artificial intelligence (AI) into mental health services. However, in order to successfully and responsibly implement AI services into psychotherapeutic settings, the ethical and social implications of its use must be considered. Embodied AI applications show promise in assisting clinicians across mental health settings, per a thematic literature search. Yet, the research has failed to examine the ethical issues of implementing AI programs as a treatment resource. Specific challenges are identified and discussed along with recommendations for ethical integration of embodied AI into mental health treatment across settings and populations.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Describe how artificial intelligence has been used in the treatment and management of depression, dementia, and autism spectrum disorders
  2. Explain the risks and benefits in applying embodied artificial intelligence into existing mental health services
  3. List three recommendations for advancing the ethical use of artificial intelligence in psychotherapeutic settings
