Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Substance Misuse Prevention: Ethical Implications

Have you noticed that artificial intelligence (AI) is suddenly everywhere you look? From Chat GPT, to life-like images, to predictive text, there are always going to be new sides to AI; new elements, new pitfalls we didn’t see, and new challenges. As preventionists, AI can make our jobs easier, increase capacity, and help us get the job done quicker so we can spend more of our working time connecting with the community. While considering plusses and pitfalls, we can use the ethical decision-making process when working with AI even as it changes quickly to be sure we are staying attuned to our values. Maybe you have been using AI in your work for years, or perhaps you are wary of the whole concept. In this two-part session, we will discuss what AI is, some practical applications, and dive into the ethical decision-making process as it relates to using it.
