As interest and use of AI for mental health expands, so do causes for concern and hope. Our Keynote speaker will review what we know about AI for mental health today and examine current trends and news through an evidence-based lens. While not recommending it for care, this talk will also offer practical tips and information to use AI for mental health in a more informed manner.
