How can the ethical postures and critical lens of NT be honored while maintaining a curious stance with AI?
-
What are the potential impacts on practice and pedagogy?
Acknowledging its broader political context and privacy concerns, this workshop will explore AI’s potential benefits and limitations in therapy, supervision, writing, training, and teaching. How might we integrate technology, specifically Chat GPT, into our practice and pedagogy? What are we learning at the beginning of this new age of living in a world where “human relations” include relations to AI? How might narrative ideas and practices contribute to the early stages of forming those relationships? What are our concerns about the accuracy of AI-generated notes, potential losses in privacy, and human interaction?
Together, we will explore AI’s potential in therapy, its implications for therapist training, and various applications, including using AI to review transcripts, write letters to clients, and provide feedback on student interviews. Hands-on exploration includes opportunities to:
- run our transcripts through Chat GPT to identify blind spots, biases, and theoretical approaches;
- write a formal letter to school administrators, leveling the playing field for non-native English speakers.
- simulate a therapy session to understand differences between various therapeutic approaches,
- explore the potential of AI assistance in note-taking and its implications
We welcome participants with diverse perspectives who wish to explore the uses and dangers in our work contexts. Please bring your curiosity, skepticism, and cautious openness to discoveries.
