Abstract:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a significant part of the daily lives of the younger generation, influencing their education, and decision-making. Although AI provides several advantages, such as easy access to information, enhanced learning opportunities, and improved productivity, excessive use of AI may result in health problems and behavioural changes. Both primary and secondary data were used for the research purpose. Primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire, and responses of 100 has been considered. Secondary data were collected from journals and previously published research articles. Data were analysed using SPSS software. The study concludes that AI has a significant impact on the health and behavioural changes of the younger generation. Excessive AI usage has reduced face-to-face social interactions, increased dependency on AI, and contributed to physical health issues such as eye strain, tiredness, and reduced physical activity. Therefore, responsible and balanced use of AI is essential to promote the overall well-being of the younger generation.
