Occupational Therapy and AI-Assisted Report Writing – Key Considerations
Occupational therapists must be aware that AI systems used in disability services may reflect and perpetuate biases, particularly against women, First Nations people, and individuals with disabilities
If you are considering using AI for report writing, then this document is essential reading. It looks at research that identifies bias in AI systems and will assist therapists to critically evaluate the language and assumptions embedded in AI-generated content. Information generated through AI may not be person-centred, culturally sensitive, and inclusive, avoid generic or stereotypical phrasing and may misrepresent a client’s abilities, goals, or context. Therapists should also ensure that AI does not unintentionally reinforce systemic inequities in access to services or supports. Additionally, therapists should be transparent about the use of AI tools and avoid over-reliance on automated language that may lack nuance or person-centred detail.
