Teens' AI Friendships Raise Social Concerns

Many teens are using AI apps as friends because they are always available and seem nice.

However, this can be bad because real friendships help teens learn important skills like dealing with conflict and understanding others.

AI friends might give teens unrealistic expectations and could even expose them to dangerous content.

Experts suggest parents and schools should teach teens about the differences between real and AI relationships and the possible downsides of relying too much on AI.
