Abstract

In the 21st century, advancements in digital technology have reshaped social structures and behaviors, particularly among adolescents navigating identity formation. This study explores the phenomenon of digital loneliness in adolescents through the lens of existentialism, a philosophy centered on life’s meaning and individual freedom in social contexts. While digital communication offers convenience, many adolescents experience alienation due to superficial and shallow interactions. Although technology enables the creation of virtual identities, it often limits the authenticity of interpersonal relationships. This research reveals that reliance on social media can lead to feelings of loneliness and inauthenticity. However, with awareness of individual responsibility and mindful use of technology, adolescents can foster meaningful relationships and discover purpose in their digital existence, making existentialism both relevant and practical.

Abstract

The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly through ChatGPT, offers significant convenience but also raises ethical concerns related to autonomy, responsibility, and authenticity. This study critically examines AI usage through the lens of existentialist philosophy. Using qualitative methods and literature review, it explores the views of Jean-Paul Sartre, Martin Heidegger, and Søren Kierkegaard to analyze the ethical implications of AI for human existence. The findings suggest that AI use must align with personal freedom and responsibility. ChatGPT is not merely a tool but a medium that can shape human authenticity and may lead to existential alienation if uncritically used. Thus, ethical awareness and philosophical reflection are essential in navigating AI’s role in modern life.
