Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, have captured the attention of the social work profession due to their ability to generate high-quality written content in seconds at little to no cost. For professionals whose work relies heavily on documentation and communication, these tools represent a significant shift. In this webinar, we will explore how LLMs and AI-driven chatbots are emerging within mental health and human services settings. Participants will gain a foundational understanding of artificial intelligence, examine how both clients and practitioners are using these tools, and consider the ethical, clinical, and practical implications for professionals.
Learning Objectives — By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
Understand the opportunities and challenges of integrating large language models into clinical care.
Explore promising practices for ensuring ethical and responsible deployment of language models in social work contexts, with a focus on transparency, informed consent, and ongoing evaluation to address field- specific ethical concerns.
Identify and apply key questions for discussing and evaluating AI use with clients and new staff.
