The integration of artificial intelligence in psychology has been growing significantly, although bioethical issues related to this practice remain underexplored. This study aims to analyze the bioethical and biolegal challenges, including those related to the American Psychological Association’s Code of Ethics, concerning the use of artificial intelligence in psychotherapy. This critical article addresses the topic from a reflective perspective. Two main categories were developed: “Artificial intelligence and psychotherapy: functionality, integration, and application” and “Bioethical challenges and limits in the integration of artificial intelligence in psychology.” The nature of these interventions was analyzed, highlighting their potential risks and benefits, as well as the ethical boundaries involved. It is concluded that the integration of artificial intelligence into psychotherapy practice presents risks and limitations that require further studies, increased scrutiny, and discussion by the scientific community and professionals in the field
