Abstract

This paper examines the transformative impact of Artificial Ä°ntelligence (AI) on individual cognition, organizational culture, and the evolving dynamics of trust within hybrid human–machine systems. Building on recent research, it argues that AI reshapes not only how individuals think and make decisions but also how organizations define collaboration, ethics, and cultural norms. Drawing on insights from Aakula et al. (2024), Pawar and Shah (2024), Russell et al. (2025), Choi (2025), and Erengin et al. (2024), the paper positions AI as both a cognitive and relational actor that reconfigures the foundations of Organizational Development (OD) and consulting practice. Through a synthesis of literature and conceptual analysis, it highlights how AI-driven transformation calls for new approaches to leadership, change management, and ethical governance—especially concerning trust, mediation, and human–AI collaboration.
