Overcome Psychological Alienation Through Artificial Intelligence Painting Healing Workshops

Intense competition across various aspects of contemporary society burdens individuals with tremendous pressure, while extreme public crises like natural disasters and pandemics further heavier residents’ mental problems. Artificial Intelligence (AI) painting combines technology and art, lowering the barriers to creation and offering a promising avenue for alleviating feelings of isolation, fostering self-discovery, and improving mental health. This research organized several AI painting healing workshops, engaging 136 volunteers, and randomized them into groups using computer-generated sequences. Researchers conducted a Pre-Post Descriptive Analysis and chose the Profile of the Mood States 2nd Edition (POMS 2) to measure participants’ psychological states before and after their AI painting workshop experience, thereby calculating the mean (μ) and standard deviation (σ) for analysis. The results revealed a decrease in values associated with negative emotions among participants after the workshop, particularly in Confusion-Bewilderment (CB) scores (from 15.56 to 12.03) and Tension-Anxiety (TA) scores (from 14.92 to 12.48). By contrast, Scores related to positive emotions, like Vigor-Activity (VA), showed an increased trend (from 5.92 to 9.47). The Pre-Post Descriptive Analysis demonstrated the healing potential of AI painting workshops, offering an innovative interdisciplinary approach that combines technology, art therapy, and mental health strategies. As AI technology continues to intertwine with society, AI could not only enhance economic productivity but also serve as a tool for human connection, creativity, and psychological well-being.
