Around 20% used AI assistants daily, according to The Conversation. Among those using AI personally, one-third sought advice about physical health, another third asked for guidance on specific life situations, and 20% used AI for mental health and wellbeing support. The report warns that many young users disclose sensitive personal information to AI systems, even though technology companies are not subject to the same privacy obligations as healthcare or mental health professionals. Personal data shared with AI could be retained or used to train future models, raising concerns about confidentiality. The report further cautions that AI systems often reinforce users’ existing views, potentially encouraging poor decisions, particularly among younger users seeking personal guidance.
