AI and the Future of Wellbeing

What We Explored

AI is already changing how people pursue happiness, resilience, mental health, learning, performance, and human development.

This summit created space for the positive psychology community to examine both the promise and the risks of this transformation: what AI can make possible, where it may undermine wellbeing, and what ethical and professional competencies are now needed.

The International Positive Psychology Association will continue advancing this conversation across research, practice, education, coaching, and organizational life.

Led by Pioneers. Built for Practitioners.

Featuring 40+ internationally recognized speakers and thought leaders.
