    We’re working on an AI system to detect early signs of depression through speech and text analysis. What ethical considerations should we be mindful of?

    Privacy is a huge concern here. How will you ensure that sensitive mental health data is protected? Also, consider the potential stigma associated with AI-generated mental health alerts.

    From a policy perspective, we need to consider the implications of false positives. What safeguards will be in place to prevent misdiagnosis or unnecessary interventions?

    As a clinician, I’d stress the importance of using these AI insights as a supplement to, not a replacement for, professional clinical judgment. How will you integrate this tool into existing mental health workflows?
