May 11, 2026Teenagers, Chatbots, and Mental Health
Bologna, We Make Future, 24-26 June 2026
My speech urgently addresses the alarming rise in adolescents worldwide turning to AI chatbots for mental health support. While these tools provide immediate, round-the-clock access, they also introduce serious risks, especially when they are mistaken for qualified help. The danger intensifies when chatbots offer advice that lacks scientific or medical validity, or, worse, could cause harm. Without any genuine understanding of a teenager’s lived experience, emotional vulnerability, or unique circumstances, these tools could, with grave consequences, cause more harm than good.
