Generative AI and Psychotherapy

I pledge not to use Generative AI in my practice for a number of reasons:

• The environmental costs are tremendous.

• There is substantial misinformation, disinformation, bias, and marginalization contained in AI-generated content.

• There are serious concerns about privacy for users of AI, and I refuse to expose my clients to additional risks.

As such -

• I will never record our sessions without express, written consent from all parties involved.

• I will never use an “AI Scribe” for clinical note-taking.

• I strongly discourage any person from using AI (such as ChatGPT) for “therapy”.

I value your privacy and well-being, and believe that the use of Generative AI in a therapy setting is antithetical to this.
