AI4Care – Empowering Caregivers with Artificial Intelligence for Inclusive Support
Date: May 13, 2026 (Online workshop)
Format: Online educational workshop
On May 13, 2026, an educational online workshop was held, dedicated to the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in education and learning. The workshop presented practical applications of AI tools in various learning scenarios, focusing on how technology can improve the experience of students and practitioners in the health and social sectors.
Key concepts were presented using AI as a foreign assistant that is patient, kind, and available 24/7, creating a safe learning environment without fear of grading or shame. Participants were introduced to three main areas of AI application: skill acquisition, simulations, and data modeling.
Practical examples from real-world practice were particularly addressed, including physical rehabilitation analysis where AI is used for data analysis and visualization of patient progress, as well as the concept of serendipity - finding new, unexpected solutions through conversations with AI tools. The workshop emphasized the importance of experiential learning, where trying, experimenting, and learning from mistakes are the foundation for deep knowledge transfer.
The conclusion was that AI as an educational tool makes learning more accessible, safer, and more personalized for each individual, opening new opportunities for the development of skills and knowledge at all levels - from beginners to advanced users.

AI as an educational tool has transformative potential in the health and social sectors:
Key message: AI should be a tool that helps practitioners become better at their work, encourages their curiosity, and opens new possibilities - never a replacement for their expertise and humanity.

On May 4, 2024, an educational workshop was held for employees of an NGO dedicated to the vocational rehabilitation of people with disabilities. The workshop focused on the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within the context of social care and vocational rehabilitation.
Participants engaged in a lively discussion regarding the opportunities technology offers—from automating administrative tasks to personalizing rehabilitation programs—as well as the challenges organizations face. Specific topics addressed included AI reliability, misinformation, data protection, and the ethical frameworks for applying this technology in practice.
The discussion demonstrated that AI holds great potential in this sector, but only if applied with caution, critical thinking, and a clear focus on maintaining the human element in care for people with disabilities. AI should be a tool that assists employees, not a replacement for experts.
