Abstract

evolutionary mismatch artificial intelligence human–artificial intelligence interaction fundamental motives
In recent years, the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and psychology has garnered unprecedented attention, particularly following the advent of generative AI tools in 2022. These tools, capable of producing human-like text, images, and even deepening our understanding of cognitive processes, have not only captured the public imagination but also sparked new concerns and debates within the psychological community. While AI has been a subject of research for decades, the emergence of its generative capabilities has truly thrust AI into the spotlight. This article explores how these advancements are reshaping our understanding of human cognition and behavior, as well as their potential implications for psychological practice and research. Through a critical examination of current AI technologies and their psychological impacts, we aimed to bridge the gap between technological innovation and the intricate workings of the human mind.
