Drexel University received a $399,317 CAREER Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Computing and Communication Foundations (CFDA 47.070 - Computer and Information Science and Engineering) effective September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2031. This award funds an interdisciplinary research initiative investigating developmentally appropriate interventions to prevent adolescent overattachment to artificial intelligence (AI) companion chatbots. The project addresses the intersection of digital safety, developmental psychology, AI ethics, and human-AI interaction by developing an empirical foundation examining teens' parasocial relationships with AI companions, designing teen-centric sociotechnical frameworks and intervention suites through co-design activities with teens and safety stakeholders, and conducting longitudinal real-world evaluations of age-appropriate interventions. The deliverables under this award encompass research findings on adolescent vulnerability to emotional attachment and overreliance on AI chatbots; reusable design frameworks and safety interventions for AI companion platforms; and longitudinal assessment data on intervention effectiveness. The project is designed to enhance digital literacy and critical thinking among adolescents and their caregivers while advancing broader understanding of healthy human-AI interaction during critical developmental periods.
