Applications & Ethical Use of Artificial Intelligence in Assessment Practice & Research (1.5 CEs)

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers exceptionally high levels of measurement precision, greater accessibility, and novel strategies for test administration, scoring, and data analysis. AI’s impact on the practice and study of personality assessment has yet to be seen, and detailing the ethics and best practices surrounding its use in clinical practice and research must be a priority. This webinar introduces attendees to the fundamental concepts, best practices, and ethical considerations related to AI in the context of personality assessment as they are currently conceived, and then concludes with an instructional demonstration of an AI model built to screen text data for indicators of depression.

This webinar introduces attendees to key fundamentals, best practices, and ethics of using AI in personality assessment practice and research. The webinar will begin with a conceptual overview of AI and common procedures for its use, followed by a summarization of key terms and concepts. The presenters then provide an in-depth review of ethical considerations and best practices for the use of AI by Psychologists as these are currently conceived. The webinar concludes with an instructional demonstration of an AI model built to screen text data for indicators of depression.
