Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

As technological advancements, especially in artificial intelligence (AI), become increasingly integrated into clinical practice, the Board of Counseling is committed to ensuring that these new technologies enhance care quality while maintaining client safety, privacy, and the integrity of the therapeutic relationship. To fulfill its responsibility of protecting the public, the Board will be creating a guidance document to support licensees in the ethical use of AI. In the interim, the Board recommends that licensees review the following links from counseling national associations before incorporating AI into their practice.

• American Counseling Association (ACA) - Recommendations for Practicing Counselors and Their Use of AI
  
  
• National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) - Ethical Principles for Artificial Intelligence in Counseling
  
  
• American Association of State Counseling Boards (AASCB) - AASCB AI Position and Guidelines
