An Introduction to Generative Artificial Intelligence in Mental Health Care: Considerations and Guidance

AbstractPurpose of ReviewThis paper provides an overview of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and the possible implications in the delivery of mental health care.Recent FindingsGenerative AI is a powerful technology that is changing rapidly. As psychiatrists, it is important for us to understand generative AI technology and how it may impact our patients and our practice of medicine.SummaryThis paper aims to build this understanding by focusing on GPT-4 and its potential impact on mental health care delivery. We first introduce key concepts and terminology describing how the technology works and various novel uses of it. We then dive into key considerations for GPT-4 and other large language models (LLMs) and wrap up with suggested future directions and initial guidance to the field.
