Artificial Intelligence and Ethical Considerations

Susanna Sung

$59.99 USD

They say that Artificial Intelligence (AI) won’t replace you in the workplace, but someone who knows how to use AI will. This is particularly true for social workers, counselors, and psychologists. We were not trained in AI, but AI is transforming our work. As it is becoming harder to avoid AI, it remains critical that we understand how AI works so that we can make informed, ethical decisions that protect our clients, ourselves, and the public. We are mandated by our professional codes to do this.

The widespread use of AI is recent, and it is not easy to learn all the ways it is being used in our professions. At the end of this course, you will understand how AI works, the different types of AI, and how it is being used in our work. You will better understand the ethical considerations and current research findings about AI in the social work/counseling/psychology space, and walk away with frameworks on how to mitigate risk.
