In this episode, I walk through my draft framework for AI competencies in psychology, designed to help clinicians and trainees navigate ethical, secure, and effective AI use. With AI adoption spreading rapidly in mental health, psychologists need clear benchmarks for what competence actually looks like. Drawing on my experience running an APA-accredited internship program, I outline seven domains of competence—from foundational knowledge to professional advocacy—that can guide both training and practice. This episode is a practical roadmap for supervisors, trainees, and clinicians looking to integrate AI responsibly into their work.
