This article explores the ways artificial intelligence (AI) may impact the field of psychotherapy through the perspective of a prospective psychiatric trainee. The author discusses how AI may facilitate psychotherapy training and increase psychotherapy treatment outcomes. Therapy chatbots and their potential to increase access to care, particularly for marginalized populations, are discussed. Concerns regarding the integration of AI with psychotherapy are also examined, including the potential diminishment of the role of psychotherapists, negative sequelae of therapy chatbots, ethical concerns, and limitations of AI. The author concludes that psychotherapists may cautiously embrace and explore AI technology.
