Abstract

As AI continues to evolve, counselor educators are positioned to lead the development of best practices for its integration into curricula. Counselors can significantly enhance doctoral-level supervision courses by embracing these technologies responsibly and creatively while maintaining academic standards and integrity. This approach empowers educators to leverage AI effectively and ethically in their teaching practices. The introduction of the "4 C’s" framework of evaluating and analyzing the consequences, control, critique, and care assists counselors and counselor educators in incorporating and integrating AI use ethically and responsibly. These four key considerations are provided as a framework for addressing the ethical use of AI in the classroom and with clients. Practical applications, such as virtual role-playing, automated feedback, and personalized learning, are provided for consideration while ethically and carefully integrating AI when designing and disseminating learning activities. AI brings the potential for a transformative and fresh perspective into counselor education. However, there is a need for careful consideration of the ethical implications and responsible use of AI to enhance instruction.
