Abstract
Purpose: This project explores the perceived implications of artificial intelligence (AI) tools and generative language tools, like ChatGPT, on practice in speech-language pathology.
Method: A total of 107 clinician (n = 60) and student (n = 47) participants completed an 87-item survey that included Likert-style questions and open-ended qualitative responses. The survey explored participants' current frequency of use, experience with AI tools, ethical concerns, and concern with replacing clinicians, as well as likelihood to use in particular professional and clinical areas. Results were analyzed in the context of qualitative responses to typed-response open-ended questions.
Results: A series of analyses indicated participants are somewhat knowledgeable and experienced with GPT software and other AI tools. Despite a positive outlook and the belief that AI tools are helpful for practice, programs like ChatGPT and other AI tools are infrequently used by speech-language pathologists and students for clinical purposes, mostly restricted to administrative tasks.
Conclusion: While impressions of GPT and other AI tools cite the beneficial ways that AI tools can enhance a clinician's workloads, participants indicate a hesitancy to use AI tools and call for institutional guidelines and training for its adoption.
期刊介绍：
Mission: AJSLP publishes peer-reviewed research and other scholarly articles on all aspects of clinical practice in speech-language pathology. The journal is an international outlet for clinical research pertaining to screening, detection, diagnosis, management, and outcomes of communication and swallowing disorders across the lifespan as well as the etiologies and characteristics of these disorders. Because of its clinical orientation, the journal disseminates research findings applicable to diverse aspects of clinical practice in speech-language pathology. AJSLP seeks to advance evidence-based practice by disseminating the results of new studies as well as providing a forum for critical reviews and meta-analyses of previously published work.
Scope: The broad field of speech-language pathology, including aphasia; apraxia of speech and childhood apraxia of speech; aural rehabilitation; augmentative and alternative communication; cognitive impairment; craniofacial disorders; dysarthria; fluency disorders; language disorders in children; speech sound disorders; swallowing, dysphagia, and feeding disorders; and voice disorders.
