AI's Impact on Employee Mental Health: The Leader’s Guide

Abstract

This guide addresses a critical yet overlooked, aspect of artificial intelligence (AI), which is how AI will impact employee mental health in the workplace. As AI technology rapidly transforms organizational dynamics, it also introduces psychological challenges beyond commonly discussed concerns such as role responsibilities, job displacement, or economic shifts.

Through a comprehensive analysis, we compiled an outline of actionable strategies to prevent psychological harm and increase resilience and staff retention. Ultimately, we provide leaders with recommendations to mitigate the adverse effects of AI, fostering a healthier workforce and workplace culture amidst the evolving landscape.

The Human Cost of Innovation: Defining AI Gap™, AI Distress™ and AI Traumatic Stress™

Overview

This white paper introduces and defines the novel concepts of AI Gap™, AI Distress™, and AI Traumatic Stress™, addressing a critical yet overlooked dimension of artificial intelligence’s (AI) impact on mental health. As AI rapidly transforms our society, it is also simultaneously changing us. These changes can include a decline in cognitive and critical thinking skills, a spike in existential anxiety, a sense of meaninglessness, fear of death, overwhelm, cognitive dissonance, and psychological harm. New times call for new terms as we work together to make sense of our new reality.
