Artificial intelligence tools are already embedded in ABA practice. Session note generators, predictive regression dashboards, AI-assisted behavior plan drafts, and EHR platforms with machine-learning features are in use across agencies of every size, often without formal clinical governance, updated consent processes, or documented practitioner preparation. The session will map the landscape against the 2020 BACB Ethics Code, identifying six specific areas where current code language does not reach the realities practitioners face today.
- Participants will be able to identify at least three specific sections of the 2020 BACB Ethics Code that apply to AI tool use in ABA practice, including obligations related to competence (1.05), informed consent (2.11), and professional accountability (1.03).
- Participants will be able to describe the current state of AI adoption in behavioral health settings and articulate the gap between existing BACB ethical guidance and the demands of AI-mediated practice.
- Participants will be able to apply a practitioner-level framework for evaluating AI tools prior to clinical use, incorporating considerations of data privacy, algorithmic bias, documentation accountability, and organizational governance.
