ABSTRACT Objective In this brief commentary article, we outline an emerging idea that, as conversational artificial intelligence (CAI) becomes a part of individual's environment and interacts with them, their attachment system may become activated, potentially leading to behaviors—such seeking out the CAI feel safe in times stress—that have typically been reserved for human‐to‐human relationships. We term attachment‐like behavior , but future work must determine if these behaviors are driven by human–AI or something else entirely. Background is technical advancement that cornerstone many everyday tools (e.g., smartphone apps, online chatbots, smart speakers). With generative AI, device affordances systems increasingly complex. For example, AI has allowed more personalization, human‐like dialogue interaction, interpretation generation human emotions. Indeed, ability mimic caring—learning from past interactions individual appearing be emotionally available comforting need. Humans instinctually attachment‐related needs comfort emotional security, therefore, individuals begin met CAI, they seek source safety distress. This leads questions whether truly possible and, so, what might mean family dynamics.

Abstract This study investigated the perspectives of artificial intelligence (AI) language models on complex issue sexting among adolescents, comparing their ability to mediate and manage quality communication topic with traditional parental mediation strategies. Drawing a survey 472 parents, research compared attitudes, patterns, approaches outputs generated by four AI systems. The findings revealed that emphasize restrictive strategies highlight perceived susceptibility severity sexting, while responses were varied. Notably, systems differed in predicting dysfunctional parent–child suggesting divergent implicit ideal dynamics. By AI-generated human reactions, this offers initial insights into significance adolescents regarding potential limitations current promoting improved discussions between parents sensitive topics.
