Generative AI: a partner for genetic counseling?

Kenny Wong et al. Trends Genet. 2025 Sep.

Abstract

Generative artificial intelligence (AI)'s arrival in genetic counseling presents both opportunities and challenges. While offering the potential to ease burdens (e.g., by automating routine screening and summarizing patient histories) and expand access (e.g., through AI-driven preliminary education and interactive counseling), its integration demands careful evaluation, ethical design focusing on equity and privacy, and robust collaboration to ensure increased access and improved patient outcomes.
