Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly prevalent in social work. AI is being used to conduct client risk assessments; assist people in crisis; strengthen prevention efforts; identify systemic biases in the delivery of social services; provide social work education and training; document clinical services; and predict social worker burnout and service outcomes, among other uses. This webinar will examine cutting-edge ethical issues related to social workers’ use of AI; apply relevant ethical standards; and outline key elements of a strategy for social workers’ ethical use of AI. Join Dr. Frederic Reamer as he examines ethical issues and risks related to informed consent and client autonomy; privacy and confidentiality; transparency; potential client misdiagnosis; client abandonment; client surveillance; clinical documentation; plagiarism, dishonesty, fraud, and misrepresentation; algorithmic bias and unfairness; and use of evidence-based AI tools.
