After a discussion about Ai, art therapy and art therapists, we decided to focus on ‘art therapists’. A few questions centred on the ‘art therapist’ were asked
- Will art therapists be replaced by AI?
- How can art therapists use AI in the art therapy process?
We will refine the direction of the question through the following measures
- Contacting art therapists/counsellors for interviews to gather in-depth and detailed information about the current stage of development of the art therapy industry, the degree of integration with AI, and the future trends of AI and art therapy.
