This work reveals that artificial intelligence amplifies unconscious patterns in individuals, indicating risks to identity and psychological maturity.
This paper examines artificial intelligence from a phenomenological and psychological perspective. It argues that AI does not create new human tendencies but amplifies existing unconscious patterns—comparison, identity attachment, competition, and ego-structure. The work explores how abstractions (nation, profession, status, direction) shift from functional tools to psychological identities and how this shift creates fragmentation at both individual and civilizational levels. The study proposes that AI alignment ultimately depends on human psychological maturity.
