They discuss the critical need for coaches to understand technology, the nascent research on AI in coaching, and the rapid advancements in AI. We explore AI's capabilities in coaching as well as potential benefits, concerns and ethical issues. We discuss the importance of coaches adapting to technological changes while maintaining the uniquely human aspects of their practice.

What are the risks, challenges and benefits of integrating AI and technology with coaching? What are some of the ethical considerations around the use of AI in coaching, on which coaches may wish to reflect? What are the needs and challenges for regulation of AI in coaching?
