Abstract	The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has changed how we teach, learn, and assess. AI platforms offer personalized learning, track performance in real time, and provide adaptive evaluation systems, which can lead to better academic results. However, these benefits have also raised academic stress for students. Constant performance tracking, high-stakes online assessments, algorithmic comparisons, and the pressure to improve learning with AI tools all lead to increased anxiety, burnout, and other mental health issues. This paper looks at how AI-driven academic environments affect student mental health. It highlights the causes and effects of academic stress. By reviewing recent studies, policy reports, and case studies, it shares insights into ethical concerns, mental health effects, and ways to reduce stress. The study emphasizes the urgent need for AI integration that focuses on student well-being as much as on technology.
