RECORDED : Hot Topic - Exploring AI with An OT Lens

SESSION OVERVIEW

Do you know what AI is? How can AI be used in OT practice? What are the opportunities and risks for OTs?

As the use of AI (artificial intelligence) becomes more popular and ChatGPT seems to have become a hot topic of conversation everywhere, it is time to explore what this means for OTs.

• Use of AI in academia and research – examples, risks and opportunities
• How AI can be used to support OT practice such as report writing, administrative tasks
