In this week’s episode, Professor Emma Power, from UTS, speaks about AI in speech pathology practice. Emma speaks about the opportunities and considerations that using Generative AI can provide and the ethical considerations that we need to be thinking about.

This conversation will continue next week when we hear from consumers about their perceptions of using AI, as well as hearing about the new SPA position statement Artificial Intelligence in Speech Pathology; Ethical Considerations.

Speech Pathology Australia acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of lands, seas and waters throughout Australia, and pay respect to Elders past, present and future.   

We recognise that the health and social and emotional wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are grounded in continued connection to culture, country, language and community and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.
