Should AI Chatbots Be Used to Train Future Clinical Psychologists? A Clinical Psychology Podcast Episode.

About this episode

The episode discusses the role of AI chatbots in training future clinical psychologists and reflects on the implications for the profession.

Content section starts at 22:25. Across all of society, artificial intelligence (AI) and chatbots are becoming more common and they’ve seeped into all aspects of our daily lives. From internet searches to education to our workplace, artificial intelligence is everywhere. However, there is a debate currently going on about whether artificial intelligence should become a part of the clinical psychology doctorate training. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, I’ll reflect on my experience, my thoughts and I’ll propose what this debate means for our great profession. If you enjoy learning about cyberpsychology, psychology training and the future of psychology, then this will be a great episode for you. In the psychology news section, you'll learn why swearing boosts strength, finger counting opens the door to better maths skills, and the objection of girls starts young. LISTEN NOW!
