Bridging Minds and Machines: Responsible AI for Mental Health Care

Organized by:

Friday 9 October 10.05

Lead organizer: Jens Kristian R Schou, PostDoc, University of Utah

Are you working at the intersection of AI and mental health? Join us in developing responsible LLM integration in Danish healthcare.

This collaborative workshop brings together researchers and clinicians from psychology, psychiatry, computer science, and HCI to work through the challenges and opportunities of using large language models in clinical care. You will hear short talks from leading experts and take part in facilitated group discussions aimed at identifying concrete clinical problems and research opportunities.

Whether you build these systems or use them with patients, your perspective matters. Come to connect with peers, test your ideas against others working on the same problems, and help set the research agenda for AI-supported psychological treatment. You will leave with a shared, actionable roadmap to build on.
