The module you would run on your campus

Psychology students complete this module as part of the Track D layer of their existing degree, after the Universal Literacy module (D1).

What AI means in Psychology

3 capabilities the module produces.

  • Sentiment & affect analysis

    Apply NLP to clinical notes, behavioural surveys, and narrative data — and recognise when the model's classification is itself the artefact.

  • AI in screening and triage

    Evaluate the validity of AI tools used in mental-health screening, distinguishing pre-clinical signal from clinical-grade evidence.

  • Ethics of AI-assisted care

    Reason about consent, dependency, and the cultural-validity gap when Western-trained models meet Indian clinical contexts.

Industry context

Mental-health AI tools are entering Indian clinical practice and consumer apps without robust validation. Psychology graduates who can tell which tools to trust, where, and for whom shape both clinical adoption and policy.

Student outcomes

  • Critique a published AI mental-health study for methodological flaws
  • Run a sentiment analysis on a real corpus and defend the categorisation choices
  • Write an ethics review of an AI screening tool for a clinical context
  • Bridge into Track A if pursuing computational psychology research

Sibling discipline modules

The other 9 disciplines in Track D.

Every discipline module shares the Universal Literacy module (D1) and the Career Bridge (D12). The middle module is what makes the AI fluency discipline-relevant, not generic.
