AI-powered devices and social media platforms can lead to increased screen time, contributing to sedentary lifestyles and physical inactivity. Reduced physical activity and poor sleep hygiene can negatively impact mental well-being.

While AI can facilitate social connections, excessive reliance on virtual interactions can lead to social isolation and feelings of loneliness. Studies suggest that social isolation may increase the risk of depression and anxiety.

AI systems heavily rely on data collection and analysis. Mental health data is particularly sensitive, and concerns about data privacy can lead to mistrust and anxiety among users.

As AI becomes more sophisticated, it may challenge our understanding of human connection and relationships. This can raise existential questions and concerns about the future of human interactions.

The use of AI in mental health interventions raises ethical concerns, such as bias in algorithms, data manipulation, and the potential for AI to exacerbate mental health conditions.
