Annotation: Every year, artificial intelligence (AI) becomes an increasingly important tool for solving various problems in everyday life. Young people, being an active part of the digital world, use AI not only in education and professional activities, but also for personal purposes, including communication and entertainment. AI has become a transformative force across various sectors, significantly shaping the experiences of younger generations. This article examines the multifaceted influence of AI on youth, focusing on education, mental health, social interactions, and career prospects. By synthesizing recent empirical studies and theoretical frameworks, the paper highlights both the benefits and risks associated with AI adoption. Key findings suggest that while AI enhances personalized learning and career readiness, it also poses challenges such as digital dependency and ethical concerns. The article concludes with recommendations for policymakers, educators, and technology developers to mitigate risks and maximize AI’s positive potential for youth development. Despite obvious benefits such as personalized learning and expanded career opportunities, AI also brings challenges and risks, including issues of safety, digital addiction, and impact on mental health. It is important to consider both the positive and negative impacts of these technologies on young people to prepare them for effective and safe use.
