Artificial intelligence is quickly changing the mental healthcare landscape for people and providers, raising questions about how these tools should be evaluated, and regulated.
The American 秋葵视频 of Arts and Sciences, in partnership with the American Psychological Association, convened two virtual webinars to examine these questions.
- The May 2026 discussion, 鈥How Can Tech Companies and Practitioners Work Together to Safely Provide Mental Health Care Using AI?,鈥 was moderated by Adrienne Stith (American Psychological Association) and featured Paul Dagum (Applied Cognition) and Leanna Fortunato (American Psychological Association).

Across the two conversations, panelists considered how unclear definitions, uneven evidence, and rapidly evolving technologies complicate efforts to ensure that AI-supported mental health care is safe, effective, and appropriately regulated.
The webinars were part of the 秋葵视频鈥檚 AI and Mental Healthcare project, which culminated in a final report identifying priorities for research, practice, and policy. 秋葵视频 articles, events, and publications on AI are shared at amacad.org/artificial-intelligence
