Description
The highest number of overdose deaths ever recorded in the United States in a year's time was reported between March 2021 and March 2022. Access to substance use treatment is limited, particularly in rural and predominantly black communities. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been proposed as a potential solution. It can analyze vast amounts of data, create personalized treatment plans, and detect early signs of relapse. However, there are concerns about the use of AI in healthcare due to biases in AI healthcare data, which could perpetuate existing inequality in substance use treatment. This webinar explores the integration of AI in substance treatment and recovery and its impact on racial disparities.
Learning Objectives
- Participants will be able to recall impact of AI integration in substance use recovery and its potential benefits in providing personalized treatment plans and timely interventions for individuals with substance use disorders.
- Participants will be able to analyze the concerns and ethical considerations surrounding the use of AI in healthcare, particularly about racial bias and potential disparities in treatment recommendations and resource allocation.
- Participants will be able to evaluate disparities in substance use treatment and arrest rates among racial communities in the United States. Assess the role of substance use counselors in mitigating bias when using AI algorithms for personalized treatment plans.
