This research investigates how reliance on AI systems affects human cognition and reasoning. Using concepts from cognitive offloading, the study compares AI-assisted and independent problem solving, measuring verification behavior, reasoning depth, and decision confidence. The work explores whether increasingly capable AI tools may unintentionally reduce critical thinking and human expertise.

AI can improve efficiency in humanitarian aid but risks undermining its moral foundation. Research shows donors perceive AI as lacking empathy, leading to reduced engagement and donations. The key challenge is balancing technological efficiency with human connection, ensuring that innovation supports rather than erodes the trust and compassion that sustain aid systems.

AI can answer religious questions, but it often blends traditions and provides incomplete answers. While specialized models exist, general models like ChatGPT can perform better due to broader training data. The key insight is that theology remains a human, dialogical process—AI should assist, not replace, human judgment and interpretation.
