Safe use principles.
1. De-identify first.
Remove names, dates of birth, exact dates, locations, employer names, family structure details, rare circumstances, and any other information that could identify a client.
2. Use AI for drafts, not final authority.
AI can support brainstorming, drafting, summarizing, and organizing. The professional remains responsible for all final content and decisions.
3. Keep clinical judgment human.
AI should not replace supervision, consultation, ethical review, legal review, or professional judgment.
4. Separate administrative support from clinical decision-making.
It is appropriate to use AI for non-identifying administrative templates or workflow design. It is not appropriate to outsource clinical assessment or intervention decisions.
5. Verify everything.
AI can generate inaccurate, outdated, or overly confident information. Participants should verify factual, legal, ethical, clinical, and policy-related material before use.
