Abstract : This paper examines how increased use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools relates to human cognitive, creative, and social functioning. Using a survey-based, cross-sectional design on a synthetic sample, the study hypotheses that greater AI reliance is associated with reduced critical thinking, weaker memory recall, diminished independent creativity, and higher emotional/social dependency. Measures included self-reported weekly AI hours and standardized scores for critical thinking, creativity, memory recall, and perceived social isolation and job-impact concerns. Results show small-to-moderate negative correlations between weekly AI hours and both critical thinking and creativity, a modest negative association with memory recall, and positive associations with perceived social isolation and concern about job disruption. While the cross-sectional and synthetic nature of the data precludes causal inference, the findings are consistent with the cognitive-offloading literature and raise practical concerns about over reliance on AI. The paper argues for design, educational, and workplace interventions that integrate AI as an augmentative rather than substitutive tool, and recommends policy attention to preserve core human cognitive skills—particularly for learners—while enabling responsible, productive use of AI. Implications for future empirical work, including longitudinal and experimental studies, are discussed.
