The Synthetic Happiness Can Be the Future of Human Well-Being?

Abstract

Ruiz-Vanoye et al. (2025) present, from an artificial intelligence perspective, an overview of human well-being derived from the use of synthetic data related to physical, mental, and personal healthcare. This proposal has led to the articulation of the concept of synthetic happiness, which, within an AI-based framework, suggests that human well-being could be enhanced through artificial processes that, in turn, may contribute positively to the development of natural processes. At the same time, this position draws attention to a range of ethical and legal issues that arise from the incorporation of synthetic data into domains associated with human well-being. This line of inquiry raises the question of whether synthetic happiness could represent a future pathway for human well-being. The article examines the ethical role of artificial intelligence alongside its potential involvement in the emergence of cyberaddictions and broader cybersocial challenges. Issues such as cyberbullying, social disintegration, health-related concerns, and mental health implications, among others, are identified as prospective directions for future research. These areas address complementary dimensions of synthetic happiness and are intended to inform efforts aimed at mitigating the negative consequences associated with the deployment of artificial intelligence technologies.
