The UN's International Day of Play emphasizes play's vital role in human development, especially in psychology, where its interaction with AI is being explored. Play immerses us in optimal learning, allowing us to take risks in a supportive environment. It creates a 'flow state,' a balance of challenge and skill that fosters deep learning. AI's potential lies in personalizing these experiences, adapting learning as it observes individual preferences. Rather than replacing human interaction, AI complements it, enhancing the play experience and facilitating deeper learning and engagement.
This is where AI gets really interesting for psychologists. Unlike traditional educational tools, AI can watch how each person learns and adjust in real time.
When we play, we create a "sweet spot" in which our skills match the challenge level. Too easy, and we get bored. Too hard, and we get anxious.
