Artificial Intelligence (AI) is flourishing. The intersection of humanity and artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly prominent, while presenting both opportunities and challenges in every aspect of our lives. In this presentation we explore the significance of Social Sciences in addressing the challenges of the interaction between humans and AI. We envision a future with not only healthy Human-AI co-existence, but most importantly, a future with healthy connections among us, humans. As an example we consider the future role of AI in the field of mental health, specifically in the field of "Depression among young adults".
