Opportunities and challenges unveiled. How AI revolutionizes education and mental health support
By Terence Ma Tin Shu
In today's rapidly evolving world, artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a futuristic concept, it is a part of everyday life, transforming how we learn, teach, and even manage our mental health.
AI has become deeply embedded in our daily lives, especially in the realm of education and mental health. Students — whether neurotypical or neurodiverse, including those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) — now interact with AI in ways unimaginable to past generations. From generative AI tools like chatbots to AI-assisted educational platforms, the technology is influencing the way students access knowledge and navigate their personal challenges.
Some schools have already begun integrating their curricula to incorporate AI, signaling a shift as profound as the dot-com boom or the introduction of smartphones. While this progress brings numerous benefits, it also presents challenges that educators, parents and mental health professionals must carefully address.
