Can AI Replace Coaches and Psychologists?

In the rapidly evolving landscape of Artificial Intelligence, the interaction between AI and the deeply human-centric fields of coaching, therapy, and counselling presents a complex dialogue. This event seeks to unravel this dialogue, focusing on key questions that bridge technology with human psychological practices. Participants will explore the processes involved in coaching, therapy, and counselling, critically examining which components could be augmented by AI and which aspects necessitate the irreplaceable human touch.

Key questions to be addressed include:

• What are the specific processes of coaching, therapy, and counselling, and how can AI potentially enhance these processes?
  
• In areas where AI can and cannot replace human practitioners?
  
• As the role of AI grows within these practices, how can psychologists and coaches adapt to embrace this change while maintaining the essence of human empathy and understanding?
  
• For organisational leaders, how can AI be strategically utilised to support and foster individual and team development, without losing sight of the personal engagement and intuition that leaders provide?
