Summary

What happens when AI can write a psychological report in under two minutes — and licensed psychologists take hours? In this episode of Beyond the Couch: AI in Psychology , Dr. Ernest Wayde talks with Dr. Adam Lockwood about the disruptive role of AI in psychological report writing. They explore how AI compares to human-written reports, where clinicians see value and risks, and what this means for the future of psychology. Key Takeaways: AI-generated reports can match human quality in many areas — and sometimes surpass them in recommendations. Clinicians still prefer human summaries, but effect size differences were often small. Automation bias and loss of clinical skills remain real risks if AI is used uncritically. Bias in AI output reflects societal inequities, making vigilance essential. Responsible adoption requires safeguards like HIPAA-compliant agreements and human oversight.
