How To Critically Analyze AI by Nina R. Benway & Jonathan L. Preston (2025)
Artificial intelligence (AI) is more capable and accessible than ever before. But what does this mean for clinical practice? How can speech-language clinicians evaluate the efficacy, validity, and reliability of AI and machine learning tools for automating assessment and treatment? How can speech-language clinicians ethically use these clinical AI technologies? We contend that clinical AI will best serve clinicians and clients when aligned with an evidence-based framework. Therefore, this tutorial presents guidelines for the critical appraisal of clinical AI through the lens of validity, reliability, ethical use, and equitable use, facilitated by the Critical Appraisal Rubric for Ethical and Equitable Clinical Artificial Intelligence.
