"... one of my [author] main takeaways ... was that therapists should absolutely #disclose when they’re going to use #AI and how (if they plan to use it)."

"If they don’t, it raises all these really uncomfortable questions for patients when it’s uncovered and risks irrevocably damaging the #trust that’s been built."

"At present, professional bodies ... advise against using AI tools to #diagnose patients."

"Nevada and Illinois, for example, have recently passed laws prohibiting the use of AI in #therapeutic decision-making. More states could follow."
