Integrating Artificial Intelligence in School Psychology: Practical Strategies to Support Adolescent Wellbeing in Indian Schools

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in school settings is transforming how students learn and receive support. While AI tools such as adaptive learning systems and chatbots offer opportunities for personalised learning and early identification of student needs, their implications for adolescent wellbeing remain under-explored, particularly in the Indian context. This applied practice paper examined how AI may influence adolescent wellbeing and school dynamics within Indian schools. Drawing on existing research and practice-based insights, it presents evidence-informed strategies to help school psychologists, counsellors, and educators to implement AI into their practice responsibly.
