#SCOTUS Tuesday sided with a #Christian #therapist, rejecting a #Colorado #law that prohibited #MentalHealth professionals from trying to change the #SexualOrientation or #gender #identity of #LGBTQ minors.

The court’s decision has implications for >20 other states that have similar laws banning [barbaric] so-called #ConversionTherapy, which critics say is ineffective & potentially dangerous for young people.

[en] Questions after story "Help! My #therapist is secretly using #ChatGPT"

[This is not about bots built specifically for #therapy.]

"... one of my [author] main takeaways ... was that therapists should absolutely #disclose when they’re going to use #AI and how (if they plan to use it)."

"If they don’t, it raises all these really uncomfortable questions for patients when it’s uncovered and risks irrevocably damaging the #trust that’s been built."

"At present, professional bodies ... advise against using AI tools to #diagnose patients."

"Nevada and Illinois, for example, have recently passed laws prohibiting the use of AI in #therapeutic decision-making. More states could follow."
