Abstract: The rise of smartphones and artificial intelligence (AI) tools has dramatically transformed the learning and behavioral patterns of students. While digital technology offers numerous educational advantages, excessive usage may lead to digital addiction and AI dependency, resulting in reduced cognitive engagement and impulsive decision-making. This study investigates the prevalence, behavioral patterns, and cognitive effects of digital addiction and AI dependency among students in Latur city, India. A total of 133 students from undergraduate and postgraduate institutions participated in the study. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire based on Likert scales assessing digital usage patterns, AI reliance, and cognitive engagement. Descriptive and inferential analyses were performed using Jamovi. Results indicate a significant correlation between excessive digital usage and increased AI dependency (r = 0.61). Students with high digital usage scores showed lower engagement in independent problem-solving and critical thinking activities. The findings emphasize the importance of creating awareness about responsible digital and AI usage and incorporating digital literacy and AI ethics programs in the educational curriculum. The study contributes to the growing literature on digital behavioral studies, particularly in the context of emerging AI technologies in developing regions.
