Target Audience This activity is targeted toward primary care physicians and advanced providers.

Statement of Need This will be a two-part podcast that will focus on the psychological effects of cyberbullying and AI companions. This will be specific to adolescents and teens. As a result of the growing prevalence in digital engagement, a by-product has been cyberbullying. The psychological effects of cyberbullying are unique in that they differ from traditional bullying due to the anonymity and permanence. Additionally, with the growing popularity of AI companions a second podcast will address this topic. Both podcasts will address the psychological effects and provide tools for providers to use to screen for subtle signs as well as resources.

Objectives

• Define what constitutes an AI companion and differentiate from interactive AI-enabled toys.
• Discuss how frequent interaction with AI companions can influence psychological and social development of adolescents and teens.
• Identify behavioral and psychological signs that may indicate an adolescent/teen has or is developing an unhealthy reliance on AI companions.
