A1: One of the unknown futures is the role of social work leadership. I think that if #SocWorkEd dedicated the #DSW to leadership degrees (take back from MBAs) we'd have doctoral-level leaders in all domains. #SWFutures

As I think about possible futures, I imagine a year from now when BFFs Trump and Putin are hamming it up in front of the White House. Only time will tell if this fake photo i made with #midjourney6 becomes real. #SWFutures #GOTV #SocialWorkAiArt

Today is the first day of multiple futures. So, today's (4/25/23) #SocialWorkAiArt prompt is "social workers thinking about what might have been." #SWTech #SWFutures @igraywill @hcdawes @lauranissen @JimmySW

Today's #SocialWorkAiArt is "youth looking towards the future." Instead of thinking about how children are our future, ask what kind of future are we making for them? @igraywill @lauranissen @JimmySW @alicitadelfina @hcdawes #SWFutures #SWTech
November 18, 2024 at 10:13 PM
Today's #SocialWorkAiArt theme is "The Future is Transformative." I liked what #Midjourney6 did with this prompt. #SWFutures #SWTech @igraywill @lauranissen @JimmySW @alicitadelfina

A2: I'm biased because I was part of the #FuturesTaskForce, but I think that leadership and tech are excellent axes to think about #SWFutures. Both will have serious impact on the future of the profession, are modifiable (within our control), and are unknown variables.

Today's #SocialWorkAiArt prompt is "Circles." One of the first skills I learned in my MSW program was how to put chairs into a circle. Ecosystems is visualized as concentric circles. What's old is new. So many possibilities. #SWTech @igraywill @JimmySW @lauranissen #SWFutures

Today's #SocialWorkAiArt theme is social workers doing home visits. I envisioned #SWFutures where social workers are traveling across galaxies. The future looks cold, huh? #SWTech @igraywill @JimmySW @alicitadelfina @lauranissen

Today's #SocialWorkAiArt prompt: "Social workers balance radicalism with practicality." NGL, I loved these results. The third image with two thumbs is exactly what makes AI images so exciting. #SWTech #SWFutures

I won't be around for it, but one day books will be replaced by immersive simulations. "Reading" won't be an individual act; it will be co-constructed. The idea of fan-fiction will be redundant, as will the distinction between "books" and "games." /1 #SWFutures

Today's #SocialWorkAiArt is the #WorldSocialWorkDay2024 💚 theme: "Buen Vivir: Shared Future for Transformative Change." I used #DALLE3 and #midjourney to create images based on the @IFSW description. #SWFutures #SWTech @igraywill @lauranissen @alicitadelfina @JimmySW
