When Artificial Intelligence Changes Our Thinking and Feeling

Artificial intelligence is already part of everyday life: as a chatbot, assistance system, or digital conversation partner. The talk AI Between Relief, Bonding, and Threat on November 21, 2026, focuses on the psychological effects of this development and invites participants to consciously reflect on their own engagement with AI.

Between Help, Trust, and Social Closeness

The discussion centers on questions that affect many people directly: Why do we attribute social characteristics to technical systems? How does trust in machine responses develop? And when does practical support become a problematic dependence? The event combines current everyday experiences with psychological perspectives on digital communication.

What AI Does to Self-Esteem and Judgment

Another focus is on the relief brought by outsourced thinking processes. The talk illuminates how the use of artificial intelligence can impact self-esteem, feelings of competence, and independent decision-making. It is not about simple answers, but a nuanced classification between technical support, self-regulation, and personal responsibility.

Practical Talk with Cornelia Hayn

The lecturer Cornelia Hayn has over 20 years of experience in freelance adult education. She combines professional expertise with didactic sensitivity, conveying complex content understandably, practically, and aimed at the target audience.

A Reflective Look at the Digital Future

The event is aimed at everyone who uses AI in everyday life or wants to better understand its societal and psychological implications. Strategies for a reflective approach that preserves independence, judgment, and self-efficacy will be presented.

Conclusion: Visitors can expect a compact, professionally informed talk about the opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence. Those who want to use digital systems more consciously and strengthen their decision-making abilities will experience an inspiring afternoon at the vhs center with current impulses and space for new perspectives.
