The increasing integration of artificial intelligence in organizational contexts has sparked renewed interest in understanding how technology engagement can authentically contribute to human development and consciousness rather than merely enhancing productivity. While extensive research addresses AI's role in operational efficiency and decision-making, a critical gap exists in understanding how human-AI interaction can foster genuine consciousness development while maintaining human agency. Drawing on Lonergan's theory of insight and Coghlan's work on first-person authenticity in action research, this paper develops a theoretical framework of authentic person-AI practice that bridges technical and humanistic perspectives. The analysis reveals how four key components - attentiveness to experience, intelligence in understanding, reasonableness in judgment, and responsibility in action - create a hybrid practice space that enables consciousness development through mindful human-AI interaction. By reconceptualizing human-AI engagement as a developmental pathway for higher consciousness and identifying specific mechanisms for authentic practice, this work contributes to management, spirituality, and religion scholarship while offering practical guidelines for fostering consciousness development in increasingly AI-enabled organizational contexts.
