Artificial intelligence-powered social media influencers, completely computer-generated online personalities, are posing potential threats to younger users’ mental health by portraying unrealistic images of perfection. According to technology strategist **Alexa Eden, founder of EDEN**, an AI training consulting firm, these AI influencers can shape unrealistic expectations, particularly among young people, about what life and beauty should look like. This phenomenon can lead to emotional and mental health crises. AI influencer Milla Sofia, for example, has gained significant attention on TikTok and Instagram. Existing studies have already linked social media use to mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts among younger users, and concerns about the impact of AI influencers are growing. Eden questions the long-term benefits of AI influencers, emphasizing the potential negative impact on humanity despite the possibilities for business growth and viewer engagement.
