Artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly becoming embedded in psychological practice. Drs.

They will discuss issues of transparency, data protection, and bias, with reference to APA’s evaluation tools and emerging professional guidelines. They will conclude with a short, applied section illustrating how AI can be used responsibly in everyday practice.
The National Register & CESPPA (Council of Executives of State and Provincial Psychological Associations) are partnering to bring high-quality webinars designed to financially support State, Provincial and Territorial Psychological Associations (SPTAs). 100% of all registration fees from our members will be returned to NPA.
