Artificial intelligence is becoming so present that it may also be becoming addictive.
That’s the warning from Ingrado, a Swiss addiction expertise centre.
According to specialists, AI can shift from a helpful tool to a daily crutch, with real risks for autonomy and mental health — especially among teenagers.
Ingrado describes cases where users rely on chatbots for even the smallest decisions, feel anxious without them, and withdraw socially.
Experts talk about a “generative AI addiction syndrome”, driven by dopamine effects and the illusion of conversation.
The message is clear - if AI use starts feeling uncontrollable, recognising the problem early and asking for help is key.
