Invited Commentary: Transforming Occupational Therapy Research With Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) in occupational therapy is growing in scope and scale. AI use in occupational therapy practice and education has been explored recently; however, it is imperative that the field must reflect on the use of AI in occupational therapy research. In this invited commentary, we highlight recent research in occupational therapy that effectively harnesses the power of AI and algorithms. We also discuss the lessons that have been learned and the considerations we must take to ensure we produce high-quality evidence to support occupational therapy practice. Finally, we provide recommendations for occupational therapy researchers and the field to ensure best practices and excellence in research.
