When considering the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) there are several considerations related to privacy and ethical practices in SUD treatment. We will explore issues related to confidentiality, such as the use of AI to assist in clinical documentation. State and federal regulations will be reviewed to understand how AI can be utilized in a legal and ethical way when creating progress notes and other clinical documentation about the interaction between the client and the counselor. This training will explore the potential strengths to enhance clinical practice using AI, as well as discuss the limitations and ethical concerns when using AI. Principles will be provided to help navigate the use of AI in clinical practice.

TRAINING OBJECTIVES

1. Understand the history and application of AI in clinical practice
2. Explore federal and state confidentiality regulations and how the application of AI is impacted by these laws
3. Learn guiding principles to utilize AI in an ethical and legal framework
