Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly advanced in various domains, including its application in psychotherapy. AI-powered psychotherapy tools present promising solutions for increasing accessibility to mental health care. However, the integration of AI in psychotherapy raises significant ethical concerns that require thorough consideration and regulation to ensure ethical practice, patient safety, and data privacy. This article discusses the ethical considerations surrounding the utilization of AI in psychotherapy, emphasizing the need for responsible implementation, patient privacy, and the human-AI interaction. The challenge raised by the use of artificial intelligence requires a comprehensive approach. Schools, in particular, are crucial in providing both knowledge and ethical guidance, helping young individuals decipher the complexities of online content. Additionally, parental support is essential, requiring the provision of time, fostering relationships, encouraging dialogue, and creating a safe environment to share experiences amidst the intricacies of adolescence. Reimagining social and healthcare services tailored for adolescents is equally crucial, taking into account recent societal changes. The integration of AI in psychotherapy has vast potential to transform mental healthcare. However, ensuring its accuracy and effectiveness demands a proactive approach to address associated ethical considerations. By adopting responsible practices, preserving patient autonomy, and continually refining AI systems, the field can leverage the benefits of AI in psychotherapy while maintaining high ethical standards.

心理治疗、人工智能和青少年:伦理问题。
人工智能(AI)在各个领域都取得了飞速发展,包括在心理治疗中的应用。人工智能驱动的心理治疗工具为提高心理健康护理的可及性提供了前景广阔的解决方案。然而,将人工智能整合到心理治疗中会引发重大的伦理问题,需要进行全面的考虑和监管,以确保道德实践、患者安全和数据隐私。本文讨论了在心理治疗中使用人工智能的伦理问题,强调了负责任的实施、患者隐私以及人与人工智能互动的必要性。人工智能的使用所带来的挑战需要一种全面的方法。学校在提供知识和道德指导方面尤为重要,可以帮助年轻人解读复杂的网络内容。此外,家长的支持也至关重要,这需要提供时间、促进关系、鼓励对话,并创造一个安全的环境,以便在错综复杂的青春期中分享经验。考虑到最近的社会变化,重新设计为青少年量身定制的社会和医疗保健服务同样至关重要。将人工智能融入心理治疗,在改变心理医疗保健方面有着巨大的潜力。然而,要确保其准确性和有效性,就必须采取积极主动的方法来解决相关的伦理问题。通过采取负责任的做法、维护患者自主权并不断完善人工智能系统,该领域可以在保持高道德标准的同时,充分利用人工智能在心理治疗中的优势。
