The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in clinical and school psychology has been well-recognized, but the use and implications of AI in forensic psychology have not been extensively reviewed. This workshop will begin with a discussion of what AI is, demystify its processes and terms, and review its capabilities. This workshop will discuss how psychologists can integrate AI into their practice. Potential risks, consequences, and misuse of AI in forensic settings will be discussed, along with the benefits and utility of AI in enhancing forensic practice. Forensic-specific ethical issues will be discussed, including transparency, admissibility in court, and data security. Some AI platforms have been shown to perpetuate social biases and inequity. Concerns about AI’s potential for contributing to injustice, inequality, and disparities in mental health and the criminal justice system will be discussed. Presenter: Jennifer Christman, Psy.D., ABPP [Note] This webinar was filmed on June 12, 2026, and may not reflect the most current information and laws regarding this topic. Learning Objectives Describe potential risks and benefits of using AI in forensic psychology settings. Develop strategies for mitigating or reducing the misuse of AI in forensic practice.

For over 20 years, The Trust has been the premier resource for psychologists seeking to elevate their risk management strategies through live workshops, webinars, and expert consultation. Drawing on insights from over 110,000 professional consultations, our consultants have curated this workshop to address the specific, high-stakes problems seasoned practitioners face today. This 12th installment in our series focuses on applied, strategic methods to keep you grounded in ethical practice while protecting your career from legal and disciplinary exposure. Moving beyond the basics, the session explores the complex dynamics of "challenging conversations" across a variety of professional contexts. Specific topics include handling the impaired or unethical colleague; addressing race and microaggressions; navigating record keeping and the Information Blocking Rule; and managing the nuances of mandated child abuse reporting. Additionally, the presentation will cover conflicts of interest in collateral versus conjoint services, reducing risk in cross-jurisdictional telepsychology, and safety protocols for responding to patients or clients who engage in stalking, threatening, or harassing behaviors. Learning Objectives Describe at least five basic principles of ethics and risk management, as applied to several specific clinical situations that frequently arise in professional practice. Identify three risk factors and warning signs of distress/impairment in ourselves and our colleagues, and list three primary interventions for managing professional distress/impairment, and delineate two factors to consider when preparing for a conversation with a potentially impaired colleague and for deciding the appropriateness of a formal or informal ethical resolution. Describe two methods for effectively engaging in challenging conversations regarding race and ethnicity with colleagues, supervisors/supervisees, and patients/clients. Define the Information Blocking Rule and explain two strategies for ethically managing risk related to this rule. Identify three types of immunity provisions that protect psychologists who make mandated child abuse reports; and list three steps psychologists can take to minimize their risk in these situations. Apply at least two risk management strategies for decreasing risks when involving collaterals in treatment and/or providing conjoint psychological services. List four broad categories of factors to consider when determining whether to provide cross-jurisdictional telepsychological services. Discuss four strategies for ethically and safely managing patients/clients who exhibit stalking, threatening, or harassing behaviors.
