AI

Many people became aware of generative AI in 2022 with the launch of chatGPT, but several organizations in mental health have been responsibly using these tools since 2019. In this session, four leaders from a wide range of organizations will share how generative AI is contributing to their work in veteran mental health, suicide prevention, and addiction services. This session focuses on uses of generative AI in the real world - in highly sensitive use cases - with candid discussion of pitfalls, best practices, and ethical considerations that apply to a range of industries.
