WHITE PLAINS, Md. - Marylandian -- Global Thought Leader and 2025 Social Work Innovator Award winner Dr. Renetta Weaver, LCSW, CAIC is blazing a new trail where artificial intelligence and empathy walk hand in hand.

Fresh from electrifying Podfest Masterclass 2025, held May 9, 12, and 13, with a high-energy session on Pictory and Creator Tools, Dr. Weaver now turns her sights to the 2025 NASW National Conference in Chicago, June 15–19, where she will deliver "Transforming Social Work Practice with Artificial Intelligence: Smarter, Faster, Better Solutions."

"It's not about the tool, it's about the transformation," Dr. Weaver says. "AI has boosted productivity by up to 40 percent in organizations that use it strategically, but the real win is reclaimed time, peace, and purpose."

Before heading to Chicago, Dr. Weaver will host a hands-on AI Training Workshop on Sunday, May 18, through her ministry, Total Transitions. The virtual event equips entrepreneurs to reinvent themselves with practical prompts and take-home strategies they can apply right away.

"I walked into Podfest thinking AI was for coders. In 30 minutes, Dr. Renetta turned it into a heart tool, and now I have a clear game plan," says Dr. Martha Davidson, Global Workforce Leadership Strategist and Podfest Masterclass attendee.

While social work remains her heartbeat, Dr. Weaver's holistic micro, mezzo, and macro lens resonates across industries. Past highlights include a spotlight at ClinicianFest alongside leading mental health professionals and a featured study in the Global Research Journal on AI's dual impact on workforce transformation. From creating the AI-SOFT-LIFE education framework to designing custom bots for therapists and startups, she demonstrates that innovation is a lifestyle, not a slogan.

"Whether you are a teacher, techie, or therapist, viewing your mission through a social-work lens builds better systems and stronger people," she adds.

Dr. Renetta Weaver shows that when passion meets purpose and power meets platform, transformation is inevitable.
