Pedagogical use of artificial intelligence in early education: opportunities, challenges, and solutions

Abstract

This study analyzes how the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies influences the emotional well-being of adolescents, taking gender into account. A nonexperimental 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.
