Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the fields of mental health, psychology, and ethical decision-making has generated both enthusiasm and concern. This systematic review, guided by the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, aims to identify and analyze emerging ethical challenges related to the use of AI in psychological, clinical, and academic contexts. A search of the Scopus database was conducted, retrieving 50 articles, of which 16 were selected based on previously defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings reveal a wide range of ethical implications, including dehumanization, algorithmic biases, lack of explainability, and conflicts between technological efficiency and human values. This review concludes that, while AI offers significant opportunities, its application in psychology must be supported by robust regulatory frameworks that ensure ethical, participatory, and responsible practices
