Artificial Intelligence sebagai Ruang Dialog Intrapersonal dan Muhasabah Diri: Upaya Mendukung Kesehatan Mental Remaja di Era Digital
Keywords:
Adolescent Mental Health, Artificial Intelligence, Intrapersonal Dialogue Space, Islamic Psychology, Self-Reflection (Muhasabah)Abstract
The presence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has shifted from being merely an information-retrieval tool to becoming a space for intrapersonal dialogue with the potential to support adolescent mental health in the digital era. This study aims to examine how adolescents interpret and utilize AI as a medium for self-reflection (muhasabah) in an effort to maintain their mental health. This research employs a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method, involving three subjects ranging from early to late adolescence (aged 13–22 years) who actively use AI in their daily lives. Data were collected through in-depth, semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that the space for intrapersonal dialogue with AI emerges organically rather than being deliberately planned, and is driven by a sense of safety, as AI is perceived as non-judgmental. This interaction facilitates a process of muraqabah (self-monitoring), which subsequently develops into muhasabah (honest self-evaluation) and culminates in mujahadah (a genuine impetus to change), in accordance with the stages formulated by Al-Ghazali. All three subjects also positioned AI within healthy boundaries, such that AI did not replace human relationships but instead strengthened individuals' capacity to recognize and manage themselves. These findings affirm that AI can serve as a meaningful medium for self-reflection (muhasabah) in supporting adolescent mental health, while also offering a novel perspective that integrates psychology with Islamic values in the utilization of digital technology.
