Artificial Intelligence in Psychological Assessment
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a disruptive tool across multiple disciplines, and psychological assessment is no exception to this transformation. In the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, driven by AI and robotics, psychologists—whether researchers or applied professionals—must adapt to these advancements. Both AI and psychological assessment are vast and complex fields, and their integration can be approached from various perspectives.
This symposium will provide a broad overview of both domains, exploring different ways AI intersects with psychological assessment. We will analyze, among other aspects, users’ attitudes toward AI through network analysis and the challenges posed by implementing this technology in psychology. These challenges are highly relevant, encompassing ethical, technological, and integration issues within existing processes.
Additionally, we will address a topic of particular interest to clinical professionals: whether AI can replace the data analyst in questionnaire assessments and its applicability in other types of analyses. We will also discuss how AI can be used by clinicians for both dimensional (psychometric) and categorical (diagnostic) assessment.
As speakers, we believe now is the time to reflect and prepare for a future in which collaboration between psychology and AI will be essential to enhancing the accuracy, efficiency, and personalization of assessment processes. AI should not only assist in drafting this abstract—it can and should become our daily ally.
