| Abstract | Social workers are now able to expand their services by utilizing digital tools, such as online community management and therapeutic interventions. While these tools can enhance service quality and customer satisfaction, they also pose professional, ethical, and organizational challenges. Finally, they raised the topic of how social workers' roles change in a digital culture where services and knowledge are readily available. This lecture is based on empirical and theoretical literature that evaluates the current state of the social work profession while forecasting future changes, such as the rise of artificial intelligence and big data. I underline the significance of social workers acknowledging how to plan and conduct interventions using modern technologies from a hybrid perspective, in which digital tools are utilized to supplement and expand "traditional" face-to-face practices. This approach views the use of digital means to enrich "traditional" face-to-face practices and to expand their boundaries. |
