AI and Adolescents: The Interplay Between Technology Use, Academic Success, and Social-Emotional Growth

Abstract

Even though artificial intelligence (AI) is being utilized extensively in education today, little is known regarding potential negative effects, particularly on the cognitive and physical development of educated individuals. To prevent any unintended consequences, it is critical to investigate potential implications of using artificial intelligence to education (AIEd). In addition to determining the pertinent psychosocial variables that can predict teenagers' social adaptation, purpose of this study was to look into impact of AIEd on these traits. This study intends to look into how students' social ties in a classroom setting are affected by artificial intelligence. Understanding how student-teacher interactions have changed as well as the wider consequences for social dynamics both within and outside of the classroom are the main points of emphasis. The study's findings, which are based on random forest regression structural modelling, show that social media and artificial intelligence (AI) both benefit university students' academic achievement and mental health.
