"Lately, I've noticed something in my conversations with clients, colleagues, and even friends: Everyone feels like they're running, yet getting nowhere. The pressure to adopt, integrate, and master artificial intelligence is relentless. We're told that if we don't move fast, we'll fall behind. But what if this constant acceleration is doing the opposite-leaving us stuck, anxious, and exhausted? That was the question I explored with Olivia Gambelin, an AI ethicist who has advised Fortune 500 companies, from Silicon Valley startups to global corporations,"
"According to a 2023 report by the American Psychological Association, worry about AI in the workplace is now strongly associated with anxiety, stress, and feelings of powerlessness. A 2024 Quantum Workplace survey found that employees who frequently use AI tools experience 45 percent higher burnout rates than those who don't. These data suggest that AI, rather than relieving that strain, is often intensifying it."
Many people feel like they are running yet getting nowhere under relentless pressure to adopt, integrate, and master artificial intelligence. The demand to move fast creates anxiety about falling behind and can leave workers feeling stuck, anxious, and exhausted. Worry about AI in the workplace is strongly associated with anxiety, stress, and feelings of powerlessness. Employees who frequently use AI tools report substantially higher burnout rates. Decision fatigue affects leaders and engineers alike. Rapid acceleration can intensify human and ethical strain rather than relieve it. Genuine innovation requires reflection instead of unrelenting speed.
