Although AI is proving to be a useful tool in terms of psychological research, enabling large-scale analysis of behavioral patterns and data, psychologists fear that dependence on AI will result in cognitive decline, impacting critical thinking, problem-solving, and memory retention.

In summary, while AI is positively impacting psychological research practices, studies are uncovering detrimental effects to human psychology.
