JMIR Medical Education (2023 Impact Factor 5.2) and Guest Editors: Amir Tal, PhD, and Oren Asman, LLD welcome submissions to a special theme issue examining “Responsible Design, Integration, and Use of Generative AI in Mental Health”
This special theme issue aims to unite various stakeholders in exploring the responsible use of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) within the mental health domain. The goal is to curate a collection of articles that examine the advantages, challenges, and potential risks associated with deploying GAI models in mental health care while also proposing guidelines and best practices for the ethical and responsible implementation of these technologies.
The continued development of GAI necessitates a thoughtful approach to addressing its ethical considerations and responsibilities. GAI models have already demonstrated exciting abilities, including language generation, image synthesis, and personalized mental health interventions. Using these capabilities responsibly in the field of mental health requires careful examination and guidance.
The theme issue will encompass an interdisciplinary conceptualization of what responsible GAI in mental health should be, including but not limited to:
- Ethical considerations in GAI-based mental health interventions
- Evaluating the efficacy and safety of GAI models in mental health care
- Explainability and interpretability of GAI outputs in mental health applications
- Ensuring diversity, fairness, and mitigation of biases in GAI for mental health
- Privacy and security implications of using GAI in mental health services
- User perspectives and experiences with GAI-driven mental health interventions
- The desired role of mental health professionals and service users in the responsible development and implementation processes of GAI
- Regulatory frameworks and guidelines for the implementation of GAI in mental health care
- GAI in mental health from a disability studies perspective.
We invite you to submit original research papers, both conceptual and empirical in various methodologies, that contribute toward conceptualizing as well as exploring different applications of responsible GAI in mental health.
The deadline for submissions is December 31, 2023. All accepted manuscripts will be published as part of the JMIR Mental Health special theme issue on “Responsible Design, Integration, and Use of Generative AI in Mental Health.”
