<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">In the era of intertwined human and AI-generated content, understanding their impact on cultural practices is crucial. AI-driven decision-making
systems significantly influence cognition and societal well-being, yet biases towards Western perspectives risk neglecting diverse knowledge systems and cultural identities. Philosophical inquiries into AI's ontology raise profound societal implications, while
viewing AI as a cultural product offers insights into its reciprocal relationship with cultural practices. This paper explores the interplay among culture, cognition, and AI to understand their implications for knowledges, cultural identities, and human narratives.
