8:00 AM - 8:10 AM Opening Remarks by Moderator Alan F. Schatzberg, MD

8:10 AM - 9:10 AM Keynote Session: Understanding AI in Mental Health and its Impact on Mood Disorders Presented by JD Schramm, Ed.D. and John Torous, MD

  • ChatGPT is the most downloaded app in history. How is technology changing mental health care? As clinicians, it is important to understand generative AI technology and how it may impact patients and the practice of medicine. This session aims to build this understanding by focusing on GPT-4 and its potential impact on mental health care delivery. We first introduce key concepts and terminology describing how the technology works and various novel uses of it. We then hear how the availability of AI may have affected lived experience, and considerations for the role that AI and technology may play for those in crisis. We will dive into key considerations for GPT-4 and other large language models (LLMs) and wrap up with suggested future directions and initial guidance to the field. Using the APA app evolution framework, we will discuss issues related to equity, privacy, harm, efficacy, engagement, and clinical integration of LLMs with a special focus on clinical examples and practical implications for those working in different roles in the field. All recommendations will be in line with the APA’s 2023 statement on generative AI.
