“Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an increasing presence in all of our lives. From virtual assistants on our smartphones to customer service chatbots, we’re getting used to AI’s role in our everyday interactions.

AI is also making its way into psychological practice, bringing with it a range of opportunities and obstacles, all of which the industry has to consider.

In the pro column, providers like BetterHelp are adopting chatbots to make therapy more accessible and affordable, while administrative tools can enhance efficiency in clinical practice. However, there are concerns that using these kinds of tools might lead to ethical dilemmas and biased assessments and treatment plans.

To explore the tangible impact of AI on psychology today, we surveyed practitioners across the US to find out their views. We asked about their concerns surrounding the use of AI, as well as what tools they were currently using and any benefits they can see from including AI in their practice.”
