This session provides a brief overview of the current state of AI technology, a review of the limitations and concerns associated with AI, and opportunities for AI to enhance learning in higher education and supervision. Practical strategies for harnessing AI in a responsible, ethical manner are highlighted.

In this dynamic and interactive webinar, participants will explore the burgeoning field of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI), focusing on its practical applications and ethical considerations within social work. We will delve into the use of conversational AI tools like ChatGPT as a consultative tool for social workers, explore how visual AI tools like Midjourney and Dalle can be utilized to create therapeutic materials and resources, and do a deep dive into the use of GAI to reshape professional development. Furthermore, we will examine the ethical dimensions of employing GAI for drafting progress notes and designing personalized treatment plans, ensuring fidelity to professional standards and client confidentiality. Participants will have access to handouts, references and resources, and live demonstrations of GAI tools in action.
