2025 SPA Expert Insights -Teaching Ethical and Effective AI Use

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly influencing the landscape of psychological assessment, particularly in personality assessment contexts. This interactive workshop is designed for psychologists who teach, supervise, or practice personality assessment and are seeking to responsibly integrate AI into their work. The program addresses the growing need to train students, supervisees, and colleagues in critically evaluating and ethically applying AI-supported assessment tools. Participants will engage in structured discussions, case-based learning, and collaborative curriculum development exercises aimed at bridging traditional assessment competencies with emerging technological practices. In addition to providing foundational knowledge about the capabilities and limitations of AI in personality assessment, the workshop will emphasize how to teach and model ethical considerations—such as algorithmic bias, privacy, clinical judgment, and transparency—in educational and clinical contexts.
