The Testing Psychologist Podcast 525. AI for Testing Psychologists: I Am Not Jeremy Sharp
Would you rather read the transcript? Click here.
In this special experiment, I let AI take over my podcast. That’s right—ChatGPT wrote the script and ElevenLabs generated my voice. No humans were harmed (though one was a little unsettled). This episode kicks off a four-part series on AI in clinical assessment. I explore why AI matters for our work as testing clinicians, how it’s already creeping into our workflows, and what questions we need to be asking now about ethics, liability, and clinical voice. It’s equal parts thrilling and terrifying, but either way, the future is here.
Main Topics Covered
