    AI and the future of mental health care

    Send us a text In this timely episode, we’re joined by Elliott Friedman, a healthcare IT expert with over 20 years of experience and a cautious early adopter of AI. Together, we unpack the growing role of artificial intelligence in therapy and clinical settings—and the critical questions every provider should be asking. From AI’s authoritative tone to the very real risk of hallucinated information, we explore:  • What happens when AI becomes your note-taker?  • Where does sensitive data actually go?  • How do we safeguard against errors disguised as “facts”?  • And how can clinicians use AI responsibly without compromising care? This is a must-listen for anyone curious about the intersection of technology, ethics, and mental health.  Tune in to Season 2, Episode 12 - #CBHealthCharleston #MentalHealthAwareness #AIEthics #DigitalHealth #HealthcareIT #AIMentalHealth #TherapyInnovation #CharlestonMentalHealth #ResponsibleAI
