AI companions on the rise as loneliness epidemic grows
Manage episode 463823951 series 2343952
Mike speaks with Dr. Marny Lishman, psychologist and author of Burnout to Brilliant, about the rise of AI for companionship.
Despite being more connected than ever, loneliness is a growing epidemic, especially among young adults (18–22), with four in five reporting feeling lonely—ironically, the same group most active on social media.
Mental health professionals note a rising interest in AI chatbot companions. While Australian studies highlight concerns over reduced human interaction, users say AI offers support, advice, and imaginative engagement.
For many, AI companions are becoming a central part of their lives.
