Although solutions based on artificial and computational intelligence have made life easier, the fast development of technology also raises questions about near future and log term human cognition and social interaction. Through a survey of the literature and qualitative analysis, our work examined current research on how the AI/CI affects human cognitive functions and social interactions. We discuss how AI and CI are influencing e.g. how we humans gather information, build relationships, and communicate with others, with and without the new frontline technologies. Additionally, proposals for future advances are discussed along with the ethical and societal ramifications these technologies have, could and might bring into our lives. We think that by developing a deeper knowledge of how AI/CI affects human cognition and social interaction, new contributions are made to a positive conversation and encourage a responsible approach to incorporating new technologies into our daily lives.
