Inleiding

Helping Teens Navigate AI Safely

  • Ubiquitous AI usage: Teens interact with AI daily through predictive text, chatbots, and personalized recommendations, often without realizing it.
  • Developmental impact: Adolescence (ages 10–25) is a critical period for brain development, making it essential to navigate AI technology thoughtfully.
  • APA Health Advisory: The American Psychological Association (APA) released a report titled “Artificial Intelligence and Adolescent Well-being” highlighting both the opportunities and challenges of AI.
  • Key risks: Some teens have developed unhealthy "relationships" with chatbots, and the invisible nature of AI can lead to a lack of awareness regarding when they are interacting with technology versus humans.
  • Call for accountability: Experts emphasize that AI is neither inherently good nor bad, but developers must implement guardrails to protect adolescent users.
