Health Advisory on Artificial Intelligence and Adolescent Well-being 2025

The American Psychological Association issued a Health Advisory on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Adolescent Well-being in June 2025. Previously, the APA offered a health advisory on adolescent use of social media, synthesizing empirical research on associations with youth psychological development. This advisory included evidence-based recommendations to maximize benefits and minimize risks to youth. Building on that work, this report addresses the emerging use of AI and its associations with youth well-being.
