AI Dependence and Its Relationship with Physical, Social, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual Well-Being

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence has become a regular part of the daily life, especially for young adults. Many students and young people now use AI tools for studying, problem solving to express themselves emotionally, and for daily guidance. while AI makes life easier, but growing dependence on AI may influence different areas of well-being. the present study examined the relationship between AI dependence and overall well-being among young adults aged 18 to 26 years. a total of 107 participants were included in the study. The AI Dependence Scale was used to measure dependence on AI, and a standardized Well-Being Scale was used to assess the well-being and its domain like physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and mental well-being. Pearson correlation analysis showed a statistically significant weak negative relationship between AI dependence and overall well-being (r = −0.251, p = 0.009). the findings suggest that higher levels of AI dependence are associated with lower levels of well-being. the study highlights the importance of understanding how increasing reliance on AI may influence the overall health of young adults.
