[Tailoring care to the mind: The emerging role of artificial intelligence in precision psychiatry. Part II: Validating, regulating and integrating artificial intelligence into care]

Abstract: Objectives Precision psychiatry seeks to tailor care to the clinical, biological, cognitive, behavioral, and contextual characteristics of each patient. Artificial intelligence may help achieve this goal by combining multimodal data, identifying complex patterns, following individual trajectories, and refining prognostic or therapeutic stratification. Yet strong statistical performance does not automatically translate into meaningful clinical benefit. This second part of Tailoring Care to the Mind: The Emerging…

The quick read

Objectives Precision psychiatry seeks to tailor care to the clinical, biological, cognitive, behavioral, and contextual characteristics of each patient. Artificial intelligence may help achieve this goal by combining multimodal data, identifying complex patterns, following individual trajectories, and refining prognostic or therapeutic stratification.

This second part of Tailoring Care to the Mind: The Emerging Role of Artificial Intelligence in Precision Psychiatry explores the conditions required for an algorithm to become a reliable, acceptable, equitable, and responsible clinical innovation. Ethical legitimacy further requires clear rules for data access, secondary use, accountability, and the possibility of questioning or overriding an algorithmic recommendation.

Main points
  • Objectives Precision psychiatry seeks to tailor care to the clinical, biological, cognitive, behavioral, and contextual characteristics of each patient.
  • Artificial intelligence may help achieve this goal by combining multimodal data, identifying complex patterns, following individual trajectories, and refining prognostic or therapeutic stratification.
  • Yet strong statistical performance does not automatically translate into meaningful clinical benefit.
Problem

[Tailoring care to the mind: The emerging role of artificial intelligence in precision psychiatry. Part II: Validating, regulating and integrating artificial intelligence into care]: Particular attention was given to discrimination, calibration, decision usefulness, external validation, bias, acceptability, interpretability, responsibility, and human oversight.

The rundown

Yet strong statistical performance does not automatically translate into meaningful clinical benefit. This second part of Tailoring Care to the Mind: The Emerging Role of Artificial Intelligence in Precision Psychiatry explores the conditions required for an algorithm to become a reliable, acceptable, equitable, and responsible clinical innovation.
