The Huntsman Mental Health Institute is prioritizing a commitment to responsible artificial intelligence to help address significant gaps in mental health care. Rather than focusing on job replacement, the institute is looking at how AI can be used for the benefit of patients.
This focus on responsible AI aligns with one of three presidential priorities established by University of Utah President Taylor Randall as part of the Impact 2030 strategy.
The institute is approaching the evolution of AI technology with a balance of urgency and care. The goal involves building tools designed to extend the reach of human care through interdisciplinary collaboration and partnerships with state agencies.
As the technology continues to evolve, the institute intends to use these tools with the integrity and intention required for mental health care.
