If you use AI as your main tool at work, then you have lower chances of sleeping well and communicating to people.

The newest research shows how artificial intelligence affects our brain, and why it happens.

Let's find out more.

The study

According to new research published by the American Psychological Association, people who often interact with artificial intelligence (AI) systems are way more likely to experience loneliness, leading to severe insomnia and excessive after-work drinking.

The study, conducted across different countries, highlights the potential negative impacts of isolating work with the newest AI systems on people's personal lives.

However, the study also found that frequent AI system users were more likely to offer help to their colleagues, possibly driven by their own feeling of loneliness and strong need for social contact.

It's more like correlations now

While the study establishes correlations, further exploration is needed to determine causation.

Suggestions for addressing these issues include incorporating various social features into AI systems, limiting AI system usage, providing opportunities for socializing, and implementing mindfulness programs.

As AI continues to become more popular, it is vital to mitigate potential adverse effects on people's well-being.
