Abstract In the ever-evolving landscape of urban life, nuclear families in metro cities often grapple with loneliness, emotional stress, and a diminishing sense of human connection. The increasing dependence on technology has introduced AI companions—virtual assistants, chatbots, and social robots—as a potential source of emotional support. This research explores how AI companions influence mental well-being, particularly in urban nuclear households, where social interactions are often limited by fast-paced lifestyles. While AI offers companionship, emotional regulation, and mental health assistance, it also raises profound questions about the nature of human relationships, emotional dependency, and the boundaries between artificial and authentic interactions. Can AI truly fulfil the emotional needs of individuals, or does it create an illusion of companionship, distancing humans further from real-world relationships? This study delves into the psychological, ethical, and social implications of AI-driven companionship, seeking to understand whether these technologies enrich or erode human emotional resilience. By embracing a humanistic perspective, this research aims to provide insights into how AI can be integrated responsibly into family life, ensuring that technological advancements support, rather than replace, the fundamental human need for genuine connection and emotional intimacy.
Keywords AI companionship, human connection, nuclear families, emotional well-being, loneliness, metro cities, social robots, ethical AI, human-machine relationships, mental health support.
