AI Literacy for Genetic Counselors: From Evaluation to Implementation

Artificial intelligence is transforming genetic services, creating both opportunities and responsibilities for genetic counselors to critically evaluate these technologies as they integrate into healthcare. This session brings together experts in genetic counseling, data science, medical informatics, and bioethics to build upon counselors' existing strengths in test evaluation and ethical analysis. Participants will gain practical frameworks for evaluating AI tools, addressing potential biases, and assessing impacts on patient care and equity. This comprehensive approach will equip genetic counselors with the knowledge to make informed decisions about AI implementation while maintaining professional standards across all specialties and practice settings.
