Dieser Beitrag verknüpft Alfred Adlers Theorie der Lebensaufgaben – Arbeit, Gemeinschaft, Liebe sowie die später ergänzten Felder Selbst, Spiritualität und Freizeit – mit aktuellen Befunden zur Wirkung Künstlicher Intelligenz. Durch eine hermeneutisch-essayistische Synthese von 68 empirischen Studien (2019–2025) zeigt er: Ko-kreative KI steigert berufliche Selbstwirksamkeit, während algorithmisches Management Autonomie mindern kann; Social-Bots reduzieren Einsamkeit, doch Empfehlungsalgorithmen befördern Polarisierung; Companion-Bots bieten angstfreie Bindungstrainings, indes bedrohen Deepfakes Vertrauen und Authentizität; Self-Tracking fördert Selbsterkenntnis, kann aber narzisstische Optimierung anstoßen; KI-gestützte Sinnangebote demokratisieren Spiritualität, riskieren jedoch deren Kommerzialisierung; Freizeit-Recommender erleichtern serendipitäre Muße, können jedoch Leistungsquantifizierung forcieren. Vier querliegende Einflussachsen – datengestützte Reflexionsräume, algorithmische Sinnarchitekturen, marktlogische Rahmungen und Fairnessdefizite – entscheiden darüber, ob KI das Gemeinschaftsgefühl stärkt oder unterminiert. Der Artikel plädiert für eine individualpsychologische Technikethik, die Transparenz, partizipative Kontrolle und Mut zur Unvollkommenheit fördert, und nennt therapeutische sowie designbezogene Implikationen.
