It is estimated that 6%–7% of the population suffers from mental disorders. WHO reported that one in four families is likely to have at least one member with a behavioral or mental disorder? Post-pandemic, the world has experienced a huge surge in mental health issues. Unfortunately, not everyone is able to access the available mental health services due to constraints such as lack of financial assistance, living in remote areas, fear of being stigmatized and lack of awareness. The emergence of online mental health services could solve some of these problems, as these are easily accessible to people from anywhere, are cost effective and also reduce the fear of being judged or labeled. Lots of efforts are being made today to integrate artificial intelligence with the traditional form of psychotherapy. The role of chat bots for mental health services in the form of e-therapies has been found to be highly relevant and important.
Artificial intelligence (AI), known by some as the industrial revolution (IR) 4.0, is going to change not only the way we do things, how we relate to others, but also what we know about ourselves. This article will first examine what AI is, discuss its impact on human behavior as well as social, and economic changes on humankind in the 21st century.
The IR1.0, the IR of the 18th century, impelled a huge social change without directly complicating human relationships. Modern AI, however, has a tremendous impact on how we do things and also the ways we relate to one another. Facing this challenge, new principles of AI bioethics must be considered and developed to provide guidelines for the AI technology to observe so that the world will be benefited by the progress of this new intelligence.
A detailed descriptive analyses in this paper, as a researcher want to point out new research reflections and perspectives that could help researchers, teachers, educators (and consequently students) to reflect on the introduction of new technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence, robot tutors) and on how these can affect on human behavioral development and on the acquisition of new skills and competences (Specifically: Creativity, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Computational Thinking) for the educational context. The analysis carried on, suggests a perspective on how creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving can be effective in promoting computational thinking, and how Artificial Intelligence (AI) could be an aid instrument to teachers in the fostering of creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving in schools and educational contexts.
Keywords: artificial intelligence, human behavior, digital challenge, online counseling.
