In this episode, I walk through my draft framework for AI competencies in psychology, designed to help clinicians and trainees navigate ethical, secure, and effective AI use. With AI adoption spreading rapidly in mental health, psychologists need clear benchmarks for what competence actually looks like. Drawing on my experience running an APA-accredited internship program, I outline seven domains of competence—from foundational knowledge to professional advocacy—that can guide both training and practice. This episode is a practical roadmap for supervisors, trainees, and clinicians looking to integrate AI responsibly into their work.

Main topics covered:

* Why psychologists need defined AI competencies

* Ground zero: foundational AI knowledge for clinicians

* Transparency and informed consent when using AI

* Bias mitigation and equity in AI-supported services

* Privacy, security, and HIPAA concerns with AI tools

* Accuracy, misinformation, and safeguarding judgment

* The clinician’s role in maintaining human oversight

* Liability, ethics, and continuing education in AI

* Professional development and advocacy for responsible AI

Resources Mentioned

* Reverb: AI report-writing software

* APA guidelines for AI use
