Join Free →As artificial intelligence (AI) technologies rapidly evolve, behavior analysts are increasingly exploring their potential to enhance clinical decision-making, streamline workflows, and support advancement of the field of applied behavior analysis (ABA). This presentation will focus discussion on ethical and practical considerations for implementing AI tools in ABA, guided by the CASP Practice Parameters for Artificial Intelligence. We will explore how organizations can ensure any implementation is in alignment with ethical standards, discuss barriers to implementation, and discuss strategies for integration of AI technology into a practice without compromising client-centered care - ultimately increasing the skill of the user rather than de-skilling. Drawing from real-world examples, this presentation will highlight strategies for evaluating AI tools, fostering organizational readiness and advancement of quality care.
