Artificial intelligence is quickly finding its way into clinical workflows. However, in brain injury care, “innovative” must be weighed against outcomes. This session attempts to avoid hype and to focus on practical, responsible AI uses that can support individuals living with brain injury across rehab and community-based settings. We’ll review where AI can add value today and how to judge whether a tool is truly ready for real-world practice.

Just as important, we’ll examine the risks and safeguards that matter for this population: accuracy and hallucinations, bias and inequitable outcomes, privacy and consent, cognitive accessibility, overreliance, and clinician accountability. Participants will leave with a clear framework and a set of “critical questions” to evaluate AI tools, plus concrete strategies for integrating AI in ways that protect patient safety, dignity, and trust—no technical background required.
