Employee Wellbeing in the Age of AI

Artificial Intelligence is reducing routine and administrative work while shifting employees toward more cognitively demanding activities. Employees increasingly analyze complex information, validate AI-generated outputs, make judgment calls, and adapt continuously to new tools. The result can be a cognitive load paradox: work becomes faster, but not necessarily easier. HR leaders must therefore look beyond hours and task volume to understand mental strain, decision fatigue, and the conditions required for sustainable performance.

This session will explore how organizations can recognize these emerging pressures and rethink how work is designed and supported in an AI-enabled environment.
