Ethics and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Ethics essentials

Richard Miller and Tina Williams look at Section C of the new Ethical Framework specifically Core responsibilities 2.1 e, Keeping ourselves and those using our services safe. 

They explore the developments in AI, how to use AI ethically when considering using it in your practice, the risks and challenges and the importance of keeping yourself up to date and informed.

Using Ethics essential resources 

These resources are not contractually binding on members but provide information, observations and questions to help you make ethical decisions within your practice.

Individual practice issues are often complex and will vary depending on your clients, models of working, the context of the work and the kind of therapeutic intervention provided. We'd always recommend discussing practice dilemmas with a supervisor, a legal advisor or another suitably qualified and experienced professional.
