  • Abstract:
  • The Fourth Industrial Revolution and AI have both positive and negative effects on job security, with some professions at risk while others see new opportunities in fields like data science and robotics. The value of humanities skills in the digital economy is still debated, especially for professions like counselling. Integrating ICT and humanities in education is seen as crucial for producing well-rounded professionals in the digital era. Soft skills like critical thinking and problem-solving are essential alongside technological skills to succeed in the digital economy, according to the OECD. Social workers need to improve their digital knowledge to adapt to the changes brought by AI, but many feel their training lacks sufficient preparation in this area. AI can enhance social work by improving assessment, diagnosis, and treatment plans, as well as offering virtual therapy and support. It can also streamline communication, automate data processing, and provide predictive analytics to help allocate resources effectively. Embracing AI can lead to research, innovation, and collaboration in social work. Ethical considerations are crucial when integrating AI into social work, including protecting client privacy, mitigating biases in algorithms, and ensuring AI complements human interaction. By addressing these ethical concerns responsibly, social workers can use AI to revolutionize their profession, improve efficiency, and better serve their clients. This paper focuses on the impact of AI on the social work profession in the current technological landscape, emphasizing its role in enhancing and advancing the social work fields.
