Hvis du vil lære mere om AI og ergoterapi, og du har læst artiklen af ​​Vera Kaelin i Dansk Ergoterapeutforenings Forskningsmagasin 2026, har du nu chancen for at høre mere om emnet.

This presentation explores the emerging role of artificial intelligence (AI) in participatory occupational therapy (OT). It covers three main questions:

• Does AI “understand” what we do as OTs?
• Do AI tools meet the needs of OT clients?
• Are AI tools consistent with OT ethical guidelines?

Overall, the presentation encourages critical reflection on both the possibilities and limitations of integrating AI into participatory OT practice – and what may be needed from OTs in the future.
