Among these innovations, AI-driven art therapy has emerged as a promising approach, combining the expressive and healing aspects of traditional art therapy with the adaptive and analytical strengths of AI. This modality shows particular potential in supporting individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), mental health challenges, and those seeking emotional well-being.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This umbrella review aimed to synthesize and evaluate existing evidence on the application, effectiveness, and implementation of AI-driven art therapy in improving outcomes for individuals with ASD, mental health conditions, and emotional distress.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A comprehensive search was conducted across multiple databases\u2014including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, IEEE Xplore, and ACM Digital Library\u2014to identify systematic and scoping reviews that adhered to PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines.
