Artificial Intelligence in Mental Healthcare

Who is the clinician of tomorrow – man and machine?

In this new summer course given by Karolinska Institutet (KI), we explore how artificial intelligence (AI) is researched and integrated into mental healthcare to improve tailored patient care. Throughout the course we also debate ethical implications of this ongoing paradigm shift and its consequences for mental healthcare. 

The course provides a comprehensive interdisciplinary perspective on both opportunities and challenges of AI with a focus on clinical psychology and psychiatry. Core topics include conversational agents, suicide prediction, and applied machine learning for the purpose of improved tailored treatment, monitoring, and care. These topics are studied from a general perspective regarding strengths and limitations of humans versus machines. Lectures are supported by collaborative seminars on cutting-edge findings. Interactive workshops provide possibilities for both theoretical development and hands-on use and construction of AI-tools. 

The course was held between the 3rd until the 17th of June 2024 at Flemingsberg (full-time study).
