This week our group had a meeting, as agreed in class, to present our thoughts on “The Future Work” after doing our research.

After discussion, the group decided to focus on AI and art therapy, and we are going to delve deeper into the relationship between AI and art therapy.

-What is the current state of development of AI and art therapy, and how do you envisage it evolving in the future based on research?
-What are the potential questions that are not currently being asked in this area?
-Based on the research, what can be inferred about how these issues will evolve in the future?
-How do we try to solve them?

For this I read a very helpful article, Art Therapy in the Digital World: an Integrative Review of Current Practice and Future Directions.

The article mentions that the use of technology as a tool for creating art during therapy has increased from 19% to 32%, and that technology and AI are becoming more and more involved in art therapy. The article raises three main questions about the integration of technology and art therapy

1、Specialist Training in AI/ Digital Technology use for Art therapists
How the lack of systematic training of art therapists in the use of AI and digital technology with art therapy affects patients

2、How Client Response to AI therapy — key factor
When creating art using AI digital tools in art therapy, the tactile nature of art materials is lost. What potential impact does this have on patient What potential impact does this have on patient treatment?

3、Ethical and confidentiality

I think we can now develop our vision of The Future Work along these three lines.
