Abstract

This article examines the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on the manifestation of antipathy among adolescents. In the context of rapid digitalization, AI-driven platforms such as social media algorithms, recommendation systems, and virtual communication environments significantly shape adolescents’ emotional responses and interpersonal attitudes. The study analyzes how AI-mediated environments contribute to the development and expression of antipathy through mechanisms such as social comparison, algorithmic filtering, digital echo chambers, and online disinhibition. Particular attention is given to the relationship between AI technologies and phenomena such as cyberbullying, social isolation, and emotional dysregulation. The findings suggest that artificial intelligence does not directly create antipathy but amplifies existing socio-psychological processes, making negative interpersonal attitudes more visible and persistent. The article also highlights the importance of digital literacy, emotional intelligence, and ethical AI use in minimizing the negative impact of AI on adolescent social interactions.
