TY - JOUR T1 - Ethics, Artificial Intelligence, and Risk Assessment JF - Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law Online JO - J Am Acad Psychiatry Law SP - 335 LP - 337 DO - 10.29158/JAAPL.210066-21 VL - 49 IS - 3 AU - Benjamin L.

In this issue of The Journal, Hogan and colleagues argue that artificial intelligence introduces novel concerns for violence risk assessment that require consideration. While the concerns that have been raised are entirely valid and require consideration, we argue that artificial intelligence does not herald a more serious or unique challenge in these areas relative to other forms of violence risk assessment.
