Abstract

Recent advances in AI provide a unique opportunity to reshape mental health care systems and practices. However, there remains considerable skepticism that AI will positively impact the futures of patients, workers, and technologies. An interdisciplinary approach toward design and development of human-centered AI is necessary, yet discussions about the future of mental health work are often stratified by discipline (e.g., clinical vs. HCI research) or mental health domain (i.e., PTSD, depression, etc.). With this panel, we will bring together HCI, AI, organizational, and clinical researchers and practitioners to focus on the future of patients, workers, and AI-based technology in mental health care. We will discuss current challenges associated with mental health care AI across diverse clinical domains. This panel aims to move toward common ground for the future of human-centered AI in mental health work among those spanning perspectives from technoskepticism to justified caution.
