Study: Chatbots as Teen Therapists

A study published by JAMA Pediatrics revealed that AI-powered chatbots are increasingly being used by children and teenagers to express their emotional problems and seek advice on relationships and family issues. The research indicated that approximately 20% of about 40,000 Canadian students have used these chatbots to support their feelings, with higher usage among girls and high school adolescents. The study also found that those who turn to these chatbots tend to experience higher levels of anxiety and depression, which may suggest a greater need for psychological and human support. It emphasized that the ease of access to artificial intelligence could be an indicator of the need for more support and human connection.
