Masterclass🎙️ Do No Harm: Building Trustworthy AI for Mental Health
As AI increasingly enters the realm of mental health, how do we ensure technology heals—and never harms?
Join Dr. Abir Aldhalimi, Ph.D., Clinical Instructor at Yale University School of Medicine and founder of Unknotted Mental Health, for an illuminating talk on the ethical guardrails and real-world responsibilities of AI in mental health care.
Dr. Aldhalimi bridges clinical psychology, digital innovation, and global policy to explore how we can build AI tools that truly support human well-being while upholding the principle of “do no harm.” From trauma-informed algorithms to equitable systems design, this session will challenge us to think deeply about trust, safety, and compassion in the future of mental health technology.
