AI进入未成年人生活：是工具，还是依赖？

中国青少年研究中心的调查显示，超六成受访中小学生曾使用过人工智能，其中超过20%的孩子表示更倾向于与AI进行交流，而非与真人沟通1。这一现象反映出AI在未成年人生活中日益深入的渗透，引发了教育界和心理学领域的广泛关注。

心理研究者周壹指出，尽管AI能够提供低成本的情感陪伴并连接孩子与外部世界，但其无法替代真实的人际互动和情感关系1。周壹强调，"AI是桥不是墙"，可以连接孩子与世界。民主法制出版社责编刘险涛进一步阐述了这种风险，指出AI提供的是零矛盾、无条件接纳的陪伴环境，这种特性可能导致孩子形成"越依赖越孤独"的心理闭环1。专家认为，教育的核心目标应当是守护未成年人的好奇心、判断力、共情能力，以及被真实看见过的心1。

A survey by the China Youth Research Center reveals that artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly prevalent in the lives of minors, raising concerns about psychological dependence and the erosion of authentic human connection.1 The research found that over 60 percent of surveyed primary and secondary school students have used AI, while more than 20 percent of children prefer conversing with AI rather than interacting with real people.1

Psychologists and researchers have highlighted the dual nature of this technological integration. Researcher Zhou Yi observed that while AI can serve as a "bridge rather than a wall"—connecting young people to broader information and resources—it cannot replicate genuine emotional support and human connection.1 The concern is intensified by the observation that AI provides unconditional acceptance and conflict-free interaction, potentially creating what experts describe as a psychological loop of "increasing dependence leading to greater isolation."1 Scholars emphasize that core educational priorities—including fostering curiosity, developing critical judgment, cultivating empathy, and ensuring young people feel genuinely seen and understood by real individuals—cannot be substituted by technological solutions.1
