As artificial intelligence (AI)-driven breakthroughs and generative AI (Gen AI) applications continue to proliferate EdTech, MedTech, and HealthTech, the presence of AI is becoming increasingly common. However, this growing prevalence has not diminished the necessity to improve our collective understanding of the technology. This webinar addresses understanding its ethical implications and promotes equitable, human-centered AI applications in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) education and clinical practice. Participants will learn to assess their own and their departments’ readiness to evaluate AI tools effectively and responsibly. By developing a framework for discussing and applying AI in educational and clinical decision-making, attendees will be equipped to lead with an ethical and informed awareness of AI and Gen AI.

This course is designed with a participation requirement that ensures meaningful engagement and learning. Participants must be present for the entire 60-minute webinar to receive the assessment. The assessment is a key component in obtaining both their certificate of completion and ASHA CEUs. In addition to standard assessments of the speaker's effectiveness and the overall content quality, participants are challenged to demonstrate practical application of the knowledge gained. The required question prompts participants to articulate and list two specific action items they plan to implement. This promotes critical thinking about how to apply new information in their professional practice with a forward-thinking response.
