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.
