Consequences of the Use of Emerging Artificial Intelligence Technologies on Adolescents' Emotional Well-Being and Adult Mediation: A Quantitative Study

This study analyzes how the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies influences the emotional well-being of adolescents, taking gender into account. A non-experimental correlational methodology was employed with a sample of 400 secondary school students, selected using probabilistic sampling. Significant links were found between intensive AI use and higher levels of anxiety and depression, as well as lower self-esteem.
