It can process information quickly, often in ways that feel personal and helpful. But there are some things to keep in mind when using AI for mental health support. This resource from Kids Help Phone (KHP) explores what AI is, how you might use it, safety considerations and ways you can access non-judgmental real human help for your feelings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2    id=\"what-is-ai\"\n    class=\"acf-block-heading \"\n    >\n    What is AI? <\/h2>\n\n\n<p>In short, AI is technology that uses data to complete complex tasks efficiently.
