روبوتات الدردشة تهدد بالأمراض العقلية !
Artificial intelligence conversations transcend the boundaries of daily tasks to emotional expression, a shift that researchers warn may be associated with increased isolation, emotional dependency, and a decline in real-world interaction, which could raise the risks of psychological disorders among certain user groups. A study at the Media Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that heavy use of chatbots deepened feelings of loneliness and reduced social engagement, while the initial benefits of voice interaction appeared limited and faded with overuse. A study from Stanford University also warned that AI-based mental health tools could provide misleading or dangerous responses if used as a substitute for therapists, emphasizing the need for strict regulatory frameworks. Research from the University of Minnesota concluded that robots generally do not meet clinical safety standards when dealing with sensitive issues and are not suitable substitutes for professional therapy. Although some controlled trials have shown limited positive effects of specialized robotic interventions on psychological distress among youth, the evidence converges on not replacing human therapy but rather using them as supportive tools under professional conditions. In summary, the flourishing of chatbots necessitates heightened caution, responsible guidance, and a tendency towards direct human support whenever mental health is concerned.
