Where Does AI Liability Fall?
Dec 18, 2025Where does AI liability fall?
This question is an increasingly relevant facet of conversations. I'm grateful for the opportunity to share my thoughts with Ashleigh Hollowell, M.S. in her latest Behavioral Health Business article.
Highlights include:
"While savvy behavioral health providers are considering AI liability from the outset of implementation, the technology’s rapid evolution makes long-term planning difficult."
"Just as quickly as the health care industry has embraced AI for its demonstrated benefits, incidents of the technology’s limits and liabilities have drawn criticism and uncertainty among mental health professionals."
"A major challenge with evaluating the risks vs. benefits of AI is that the technology is so new. Safeguards, legislation and legal cases involving its use within the mental health space are still in early stages."
If you use Ai, it's important to select specialized platforms built with data privacy, safety, bias mitigation, and confidentiality in mind.
