Artificial intelligence (AI) is widely spreading daily in our daily
communication, with some positive and negative impacts. The inclusion of AI in social
media has several advantages and disadvantages and has a psychological impact on
users' lives. The research study aims to investigate the harmful psychological impacts
of AI on users using social media, which are discussed theoretically for enhancing and
improving our social lives through social interactions of users, as well as sharing their
personal life experiences or events. However, despite positive impacts, there are some
negative concerns also. The research study focuses briefly on all the psychological
impacts of AI on society, users, and social networks and defines all the challenges and
applications of using AI in social media. AI algorithms deliver personalized content of
data based on user recommendation and enhance connection and user access time on
social media, but excessive access to social media has significantly high impacts on the
mental health of users and results in more stress on the mind and pressure to compare
themselves to others, thus increasing sadness and isolation.
