Securing the Future: What Behavioral Health Providers Need to Know About AI and Data Security

As AI becomes increasingly integrated into behavioral health care, ensuring that AI technologies are secure, ethical and appropriate for sensitive-use cases is critical. In this webinar, we’ll dive into what it truly means for an AI product to be “secure” in a behavioral health context. It goes beyond encryption to include responsible data handling, model transparency, bias mitigation and compliance with HIPAA and other privacy standards.

Experts in behavioral health technology and data security will break down the core principles of AI security and share practical guidance for providers evaluating new tools. You’ll learn the red flags to watch for, what meaningful certifications or benchmarks to ask about, and which questions every behavioral health provider should ask their AI vendors before adoption.

• Understand the unique risks and requirements for using AI in behavioral health settings.
• Learn what defines a secure and trustworthy AI solution.
• Get a practical checklist of questions to ask AI vendors so the technology meets your ethical and compliance standards.
