What's included

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already reshaping everyday life, from search engines to virtual assistants, entire industries are changing and responding, often with fear. But how well do we understand AI鈥檚 role in therapy? This event explores what it means to be AI ready in clinical practice, from ethical frameworks to practical applications,听we鈥檒l听cover the听different types听of AI, how AI might support or challenge therapeutic work and whether AI could ever truly provide counselling as we see it. With expert input, this event will give interested attendees and 麻豆原创 members a space to examine both the potential and the risks of AI in therapy and discuss how we can and听likely should听engage with this rapidly evolving technology responsibly.

AI is here to stay, some of us may already be using it, whether听it鈥檚听the first response you get in an internet search, a question to Siri or Alexa, or a conversation with Chat GPT, Gemini or others.听听

However, how much do you know about AI did you know there are 4 broad categories of AI (Narrow, General,听Strong听and Super) each designed and evolving for different purposes. Are there ways that AI can support your practice? Are there ways that AI can support your clients? Did you know you can inform AI and there might be some听very important听knowledge we can input into it? Are there any clinical applications of AI that meet the Ethical Framework. Did you know that the Ethical Framework is in review to include AI going forward amongst other changes? Are you aware of the cross continent and environmental implications of AI?听

And听maybe the听biggest question for us all 鈥淐an AI provide counselling?鈥�听
