Adults with ADHD turning to AI more often; experts urge caution


Full story

More than 8 million American adults have been diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder – better known as ADHD. That often leads to difficulties with focusing, organizing and impulse control. However, new technology could be a key to finding balance as many adults with ADHD turn to generative AI.

Generative AI tools can help those with ADHD compartmentalize tasks into smaller, more digestible steps. It helps them complete tasks like reviewing contracts or creating a business plan.

Chatbots can offer specific advice, like helping users make a grocery list or come up with a recipe. Other types of AI apps can also help with reminders and productivity.

However, experts caution against AI and stress that it should not be used to replace traditional treatment for ADHD. Doctors say AI should just be another tool and urge traditional treatment methods like medication and learning organizational skills.

Some experts have also expressed concerns about potential over-reliance and invasion of privacy. The concerns are especially targeted at those who give AI tools access to personal information like email accounts and calendars.
