The Future of Artificial Intelligence and Mental Health: A Distinguished Speaker Series
Hosted by the AIM-AHEAD Data Science Training Core
Discussion Topic: Building AI to Carry Consequence: The Case for Trauma-Informed AI across Systems of Care
Presentation Overview
As artificial intelligence becomes more integrated into healthcare, education, and social services, its influence on vulnerable populations continues to grow. Many individuals served by these systems have experienced trauma, yet most AI tools are not designed with this context in mind. Without a trauma-informed approach, AI can misinterpret behavior and contribute to harm. Trauma-informed AI centers principles like safety, trust, empowerment, and cultural awareness to guide more responsible design and use. Embedding these principles is essential to creating more compassionate systems of care.
