This book serves as a solid scientific reference for the Arab reader, combining theoretical foundations with practical analysis. It explores the future of the social work profession in the age of artificial intelligence, amid rapid digital transformations deeply affecting the fabric of societies, interaction patterns, and social service delivery mechanisms. Hence, the book titled "Social Work in the Age of Artificial Intelligence" responds consciously to this knowledge gap, aiming to provide a scientific framework that balances originality and modernity, theoretical analysis and practical application. It emphasizes that AI, despite its strength, cannot replace the human element but rather enhances the efficiency of social workers if used ethically and consciously.

The author's vision is strengthened by his field experience and direct engagement with changes in social service delivery patterns, alongside continuous interaction with specialists and practitioners in the field. This allowed him to identify opportunities offered by smart technologies, alongside ethical, professional, and societal challenges requiring a revisit to the foundations of traditional social practice. The book addresses the topic from multiple angles, including: present theoretical foundations of AI, analyzing its applications in professional social work practice, and discussing ethical and value challenges associated with using technology in human interactions.

Additionally, it envisages integration prospects between social workers and smart technologies in serving individuals and society. The book supports its perspective with real examples and practical applications used in some countries to support the elderly, provide psychological guidance, and analyze complex social problems. It aims to initiate a serious Arab scientific dialogue about the future of the social work profession amid digital transformations, calling researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers to shift from passive reception of technology to its conscious critical employment, achieving social justice and sustainable development while preserving human dignity.

Ultimately, this book strives to chart a path toward a more intelligent and humane social future, where humans are the core focus, and technology is a means to enhance their capabilities rather than replace them. It contributes to building a new professional awareness capable of interacting with the challenges of the digital age in a balanced scientific and human spirit.
