Upcoming event
We are having a SIG meeting to discuss our experiences of AI and impacts (positive, negative and neutral) on mental health and wellbeing.
We will use some pre-reading from the ½¿É«µ¼º½ blog: /²ú±ô´Ç²µ/²¹¾±-¾±²Ô-±ð»å³Ü³¦²¹³Ù¾±´Ç²Ô-´Ú°ù¾±±ð²Ô»å-´Ç°ù-´Ú´Ç±ð-²¹-°ù±ð²õ±ð²¹°ù³¦³ó±ð°ù²õ-±è±ð°ù²õ±è±ð³¦³Ù¾±±¹±ðÌý to get us started and then will invite SIG members to share their experiences of AI and mental health and wellbeing. As a SIG, we will consider what we can do as a community to help share good practice and possibilities for mitigating negative impacts of AI.
Please do attend if you are interested in discussing AI impacts on wellbeing and mental health, whether you have had significant experience of this or not.
The meeting is a chance to discuss our experiences and to learn from each other in a safe and supportive online environment.
