Many teenagers are using artificial intelligence as a companion, seeking advice and support on various everyday topics. A high school student named Kayla Chege uses AI for tasks like shopping guidance and birthday party planning. According to a study by Common Sense Media, over 70% of teens have interacted with AI companions, which can offer emotional support and companionship. The rise of AI raises concerns about its influence on human relationships and the potential to exacerbate feelings of loneliness among youth as they become increasingly reliant on AI for personal advice and problem-solving.
"More than 70% of teens have used AI companions and half use them regularly, according to a new study from Common Sense Media, a group that studies and advocates for using screens and digital media sensibly."
"AI is always available. It never gets bored with you."
"AI, teens say, has become a go-to source for personal advice, emotional support, everyday decision-making and problem-solving."
