A Study on the AI-Powered Social Media and Its Effects on Adolescent Mental Health

Abstract The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in social media platforms has transformed how adolescents interact, engage, and perceive the world around them. AI algorithms curate content, recommend connections, and create echo chambers that influence emotional and psychological states. This study explores the impact of AI-powered social media on adolescent mental health, analyzing patterns of usage, emotional responses, and behavioral changes. Survey data from 50 adolescents sheds light on the correlation between AI-driven content personalization and mental health outcomes such as anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues.
