Is AI a Challenge in the Cognitive Development of Youths in the Present Scenario?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) means to the growth of computer applications to make capable for conducting the work which requires basically human minds. These tasks include learning, reasoning, and problem-solving, understanding natural language, and even perceiving sensory inputs like vision or sound.

Cognitive development, which refers to the growth of mental abilities like reasoning, problem-solving, memory, and decision-making, is both impacted by and a foundation for AI's design and application. The present paper focuses on vivid segments that a youth have to face in their intellectual growth. Youth mental progress is a dynamic process impacted by biological, psychological, and environmental factors. During this stage, vivid transformative segments or phases occur, shaping how young people think, learn, and interact with the world. Each segment is interrelated, and progress varies depending on individual circumstances such as family environment, education, cultural background, and access to supportive relationships.
