AI and the Digital Age: Responsible and Compassionate Care for People with Neurodevelopmental Disabilities

The conference, AI and the Digital Age: Responsible and Compassionate Care for People with Neurodevelopmental Disabilities, will explore the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technology in supporting individuals with Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (NDD), including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). Bringing together experts from diverse fields, the event will examine practical applications of AI in care, ethical considerations in its use, and the influence of social media on neurodivergent identity and community. Through keynote presentations, panel discussions, and interactive sessions, participants will gain actionable insights into leveraging AI for personalized and compassionate care while fostering an understanding of its ethical complexities and societal impact. This conference offers a unique opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue and develop strategies to advance responsible and holistic approaches to NDD care in the digital age.
