Impact of AI on Human Psychology

Abstract

AI has rapidly advanced, transforming many elements of human life and society. AI aids healthcare, transportation, and communication, but its effects on human psychology are still debated. This article summarizes AI's effects on human psychology and discusses potential psychological effects. AI has changed human-machine interaction. Intelligent virtual assistants, chatbots, and social robots are creating new human-machine partnerships. These interactions often induce social closeness, trust, and emotional attachment. However, blurring human-machine barriers can also cause isolation, dehumanization, and distrust. AI has changed work. Workers worry about job displacement and skills obsolescence due to automation and AI integration, causing stress, anxiety, and fear of unemployment. Upskilling and job changes might raise psychological stress. AI affects human psychology in privacy, data security, and identity. AI systems' massive data collection and processing pose privacy issues and the possibility of mind control. Concerns about personal information might increase anxiety, self-censorship, and a loss of control. Policymakers, developers, and academics must understand how AI affects human psychology to manage ethical and psychological issues. To create a future that supports human well-being, we must identify and mitigate AI technology's negative psychological effects while leveraging its benefits. The study aims to explore the multifaceted ways in which AI affects human psychology, specifically focusing on MBA students in terms of ethical & psychological implications & to examine the changing skill requirements, job market uncertainties, decision-making dynamics, and human-machine collaboration
