Student Accommodations: Use of AI and Ethical Considerations from a Trauma-Informed Lens

As student accommodations grow, the integration of AI in social work practicum raises ethical concerns. This interactive workshop explores AI’s potential benefits, limitations, and risks through a trauma-informed lens. Using case studies, participants will critically examine the alignment of AI accommodations with social work values and competencies.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:
  1. Critically assess the role of AI as an accommodation in social work practicum settings and its alignment with core social work competencies and ethical guidelines.
  2. Evaluate the ethical and trauma-informed considerations related to AI use in practicum, with a focus on informed consent, confidentiality, and the impact on vulnerable populations.
  3. Engage in collaborative problem-solving to develop best practices for integrating AI accommodations in practicum while ensuring compliance with professional and legal standards.
