Benjamin Silber is a licensed clinical psychologist based out of Little Rock, Arkansas. Following specialized training in psychological assessment and forensic evaluation at Patton State Hospital (California), he completed a predoctoral internship at the federal correctional complex in Butner, NC, where he received further training in forensic psychology and the treatment of serious mental illness. He completed a formal postdoctoral fellowship in forensic psychology at the Arkansas State Hospital and obtained a position as a forensic psychologist there the following year. That same year, he started Expert Psychological Evaluations. Dr. Silber has a tireless and dedicated passion for forensic psychology and continues to pursue advanced training and new opportunities whenever and wherever available. He brings his enthusiasm, energy, and conscientiousness to every evaluation and referral. 

​

Dr. Silber presents nationally on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in forensic psychology, with a focus on the ethical, legal, and practical implications of integrating AI into forensic mental health evaluations and expert practice. His work emphasizes risk mitigation, transparency, and the defensible use of AI in legal contexts, including issues related to admissibility, cross-examination, and standards of care.

He provides education and consultation to both clinical professionals (e.g., psychologists and psychiatrists) and legal professionals (e.g., attorneys) on the use of artificial intelligence in forensic settings. This includes addressing bias and reliability in AI-assisted assessment, limitations of AI-generated outputs, and best practices for documentation and disclosure of AI use in forensic reports.

​

Dr. Silber collaborates with a small group of forensic psychologists who have presented across multiple states and published on artificial intelligence in forensic psychology. He is actively engaged in ongoing research examining the role of AI in forensic evaluation, including emerging questions related to ethical use, legal admissibility (e.g., Daubert considerations), and the impact of AI on professional standards of forensic practice. His areas of focus include: artificial intelligence in forensic mental health evaluations; ethical use of AI in forensic assessment and expert testimony; bias and reliability in AI-assisted evaluations; documentation and disclosure of AI use; and legal admissibility of AI-informed opinions.

 

Dr. Silber is certified as a Specialist of the American Board of Professional Psychology in Forensic Psychology and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Psychology. He is licensed in Arkansas and Ohio and through PSYPACT, allowing him to conduct psychological evaluations in 43 jurisdictions (the federal system, Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming).
