Artificial intelligence is quickly becoming part of everyday workflow for behavior analysts. From drafting session notes to creating parent handouts and training materials, AI can save time and reduce administrative workload. If you want to learn more, be sure to check out our AI in ABA Practice free download. However, using AI responsibly is essential to ensure ethical practice, client privacy, and adherence to the BACB Ethics Code.
AI should always function as a support tool, not a replacement for professional judgment. Behavior analysts remain responsible for all clinical decisions, documentation, and communication. This means reviewing, editing, and verifying every AI-generated output before it is used in practice. Removing identifying information, fact-checking content, and ensuring alignment with supervision and organizational policies are critical steps in ethical AI use.
To help behavior analysts use AI safely and confidently, we created a practical AI Do/Donโt Guide and Single Output Review Checklist. This resource outlines appropriate uses of AI (such as brainstorming treatment ideas or drafting materials) and highlights what to avoid (such as entering PHI or letting AI make clinical decisions). The included checklist provides a quick review process to ensure each AI output meets ethical and professional standards before use.
