Lonely Teens, AI Confidants: Shocking Survey on Youth's Emotional Crisis | India Today

A new survey reveals a significant trend among young people: nearly 60% are emotionally dependent on AI, and 40% prefer talking to a machine over a human. This discussion explores the reasons behind this shift, questioning if AI is the sole cause or a symptom of a larger societal issue. Experts point to a lack of non-judgmental spaces for teenagers, especially girls and those in smaller cities, to express themselves. One participant in consultations highlighted this gap, stating, "I wish I could say this to my, you know, to my father or to my mother, but I cannot." The conversation also addresses potential solutions, weighing the efficacy of parental controls against outright bans on technology. The consensus suggests that banning is not a viable option for India and that developing age-appropriate design codes for technology platforms could be a more effective approach. #ai #artificialintelligence #youth #itwebvideos #teens #mentalhealth #emotionalsupport #chatgpt #parenting #digitalparenting #tech #socialisolation #futureoftech #india #digitalindia #aiforgood #airisks #teenagers
