Abstract

This article analyzes the stages in the development of the psychology of addiction and elucidates the intrinsic interconnections among chemical, behavioral, and digital–algorithmic forms of addiction. The study examines the neurobiological and biopsychosocial foundations of addiction, with particular attention to the dopaminergic reward system and the impact of contemporary digital technologies and artificial intelligence on human behavior. Addiction to artificial intelligence is interpreted as a new and complex phenomenon within modern psychology.
