HCMC | Breakfast Talk | When Screens Become Confidants: AI, Mental Health & What It Means for Business

Discover how AI is reshaping mental health, employee well-being and the workplace with insights for business leaders and HR professionals.

As artificial intelligence becomes part of everyday life, more children and teenagers are turning to screens, social media and AI chatbots for advice, reassurance and emotional support. This profound shift is transforming the way the next generation experiences stress, anxiety, relationships and identity.
