As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly woven into daily life, its influence on family and society dynamics are both profound and complex. AI offers remarkable opportunities when it comes to education, information, media and community at large. Yet, it also brings new dangers in the forms of information management and reliability, erosion of privacy, narrative shaping and the potential reshaping of authority and societal relationship. This session will explore how AI technologies transform the structure, communication, and emotional balance in today's society By examining both the risks and the potential benefits, participants will discuss how to navigate a future where the boundary between human connection and digital intervention continues to blur.
