Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly prevalent in social work. AI is being used to conduct client risk assessments; assist people in crisis; provide resources; strengthen prevention efforts; document clinical services; identify systemic biases in the delivery of social services; provide social work education and supervision; and predict social worker burnout and service outcomes, among other uses. 

This presentation will examine cutting-edge ethical issues related to social workers’ use of AI; apply relevant ethical standards; and outline elements of a strategy for social workers’ ethical use of AI. 

Join Dr. Frederic Reamer as he examines ethical issues and risks related to informed consent and client autonomy; privacy and confidentiality; transparency; potential client misdiagnosis; client abandonment; client surveillance; plagiarism, dishonesty, fraud, and misrepresentation; algorithmic bias and unfairness; and use of evidence-based AI tools.

Participants will learn how to:

• Identify the ways in which artificial intelligence is being used in social work.
• Identify ethical issues and challenges associated with the use of artificial intelligence in social work.
• Develop ethics-informed policies and protocols to protect clients and social workers who use artificial intelligence.
