The premise
AI in psychological research opens methodology and raises ethics; engagement with both matters.
What AI does well here
- Use AI for analysis and pattern surfacing in large data
- Maintain methodology rigor in study design

- Address AI-specific ethics (re-identification, hallucination)
What AI cannot do
- Substitute AI for substantive psychological theory
- Replace participant relationships in qualitative work
- Make ethics issues disappear through methodology alone
