We are excited to share our article published in Cyberpsychology, Behavor and Social Networking, "A conceptual framework to understand the relationships between digital wellness and artificial intelligence."

 

Digital wellness focuses on the healthy relationships individuals develop with technology to thrive, emphasizing skills such as emotional intelligence, mindfulness, mental health literacy, and critical thinking. This study employs a qualitative research approach to propose a conceptual framework that aligns digital wellness skills with healthy engagement in artificial intelligence (AI). The findings suggest digital wellness skills moderate healthy AI engagement by reducing risks and increasing benefits. Schools, workplaces, and communities should focus on promoting digital wellness education and skill development. Further empirical research is necessary to explore the implications of the proposed framework and evaluate its applications in real-world settings.
