?One of the practical topics of psychology is “adaptability”’ This term is rooted in esteemed theories such as “Jean Piaget’s development theory” in psychology literature. In practical terms, it has a life as old as human life and evolution. In the discussion of human “evolution”, “Darwin “proposes changes based on the needs of the environment, which happen intending to meet biological and environmental needs.
?
?Conceptually, “adaptability “does not mean obedience and compromises, but transformation according to conditions and crises that are created with a conscious vision and sufficient flexibility in behavior and thinking. It seems that at the crossroads of scientific, historical, and socio-cultural events. The meaning and method of adaptability are slightly different. In other word, the faster the changes in societies and human sciences are, the more challenging the adaptation is. The best example of these rapid developments and changes is the event of today's complex technologies, especially artificial intelligence. We are at a crossroads where GPTs have taken over many affairs. The giant international companies are outdoing each other by using this technology more and more. This assurance is pleasant for mankind today because technology has come to help humanity.
?On the other hand, it is worrying because of ideological, psychological, and social-cultural challenges. It has created something new for people and governments.
?
- what is the key to facing this challenge?
?
?"Adaptability training"
?
- How can we raise the level of general adaptability of society?
?
*Here are some suggestions
?
?- In addition to studying the human mind and cognitive dimension, we should focus on other needs and layers of human existence, and this focus should not be limited to complex and abstract opinions and subjective expressions, they should be based on empirical research and reliable foundations.?
?
?- It is true that artificial intelligence reduces linguistic and cultural boundaries and equips everyone with a single language. But all people with different languages and cultures cannot understand and use technology in the same way. Subsequently, their reaction and adaptability are also different from each other. In this situation, the training should be based on the local culture and conditions of the people to create more effective results.?
?
?- The third effective way to increase public compliance is to create a platform by giving people a better picture of the future. This path, relatively, familiarizes people with the perspective of, for example, one or two years in the future. Although it is difficult to predict the future, people should be aware of where artificial intelligence will have more influence in their lives. Along with this vision, the empowering of responsibility among various communities will be strengthened and this is a fundamental step to increase adaptability.?
?
?- Governments and politicians should formulate agreed and joint programs in this regard. Having agreements and joint programs of governments will pave the way for global policies and cooperation of international experts. In addition to this challenge, cultural differences in understanding artificial intelligence technology will be reduced.
?
. - Prepare new courses as a school course for all levels of education, which is called "Familiarization with artificial intelligence, its applications and ethical rules of their use". These lessons should be compatible with the ability of learners of different ages to understand, and instructional designers, psychologists, and other experts should cooperate in compiling these lessons and their references. (I will write more about this)
?
?- Another suggestion is teaching life skills. This concept and its teaching are something new and have been of interest for years. But in the current situation, we need a completely different content.
have The content of resilience, problem-solving, creativity, empathy, decision-making, critical thinking, etc. should be considered more than before.

?The mentioned items are only part of the policies that executives and practitioners should pay attention to. In addition to these, interdisciplinary research with the participation of engineers and humanities experts is necessary, which my writings and others have mentioned many times. I am going to write a separate article about the cooperation of experts.?
