This study investigates the relationship between the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its impact on youth mental health. The primary goal is to determine whether AI has a positive or negative influence on young people. Data on AI tool usage and mental health status were gathered through standardized secondary sources. The findings reveal a significant connection between time spent using AI tools and mental health issues, with teenagers reporting symptoms such as anxiety, depression, cyberbullying, and reduced social skills. The study highlights both positive and negative effects of AI on youth mental health
