It influences how knowledge is produced and communicated, challenges assumptions about efficiency and professional practice, and raises concerns about learning integrity and clinical reasoning. At the same time, it invites a shift in research focus toward broader outcomes, including compassion, equity, accessibility, and context. Across domains, these developments highlight the need to critically examine how AI shapes the future of occupational therapy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Occupational therapy is uniquely positioned and must actively engage in shaping the development and implementation of AI in ways that remain aligned with professional values, including social, environmental, and occupational justice.
