Ethics

Can Artificial Intelligence be Used in the Ethical Application of Applied Behavior Analysis

Saturday, May 24, 2025

11:00 AM–11:50 AM

Marriott Marquis, M4 Level, Liberty M

Area: AUT/OBM; Domain: Service Delivery

CE Instructor: Laurie Bonavita, Ph.D.

Abstract:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing various industries, and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is no exception. This panel discussion will delve into the multifaceted role of AI in enhancing ABA therapy, addressing both its potential and the ethical considerations it brings.The session will cover key questions, including the motivation behind adopting AI, the safeguards in place to meet patient needs, the technical and ethical challenges of AI design, and the practicalities of maintaining and updating AI systems. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion that promises to shed light on the future of AI in ABA therapy, offering both practical guidance and ethical frameworks to harness AI's full potential responsibly. Discussion surrounding the Behavior Analyst Certification Board's recent statement(s) regarding the use of artificial intelligence as well as how we as stakeholders can help guide the use of artificial intelligence in practice will occur. Our panel will consist of a professor of ethics, an AI developer, and an ABA business owner for a diverse and multi faceted discussion.
