The American Psychological Association’s latest Practitioner Pulse Survey, released in December, sheds light on how psychologists are using AI in clinical and administrative settings — and the ethical and operational challenges that come with it.
The survey, based on responses from 1,742 licensed psychologists, captures evolving practice patterns, technology adoption and clinician well-being. Eligibility criteria for participants included having a doctoral degree, a psychologist license, actively working and treating patients.
Five key takeaways:
- In 2025, 44% of psychologists said they had never used AI tools at work — down from 71% in 2024. Meanwhile, monthly use more than doubled — 29% in 2025 versus 11% in 2024 — and 8% reported using AI daily.
