Abstract
The use of AI within psychological assessment has many potential benefits for psychologists and their patients, including improved access to care, workflow efficiency, and expanded clinical training through virtual patients; however, there are also potential risks, including data privacy and security, and introducing potential bias into clinical practice and training. In addition, other risks may be present within clinical training in assessment, including reduced supervisor oversight, cultural insensitivity, and biased or insufficient feedback. This paper presents two case vignettes to review ethical considerations of the use of AI in psychological assessment training and practice within an ethical decision-making framework. Current best practices, ethical guidelines, and potential barriers, as well as considerations for evaluating the use of AI and other technology as an area of competency for trainees are reviewed.
期刊介绍：
Assessment publishes articles in the domain of applied clinical assessment. The emphasis of this journal is on publication of information of relevance to the use of assessment measures, including test development, validation, and interpretation practices. The scope of the journal includes research that can inform assessment practices in mental health, forensic, medical, and other applied settings. Papers that focus on the assessment of cognitive and neuropsychological functioning, personality, and psychopathology are invited. Most papers published in Assessment report the results of original empirical research, however integrative review articles and scholarly case studies will also be considered.
