Protecting Your Mental Health in a World of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming workplaces worldwide – and with it, affecting mental health. Several recent global studies have revealed a complex picture: widespread fear and stress around AI’s impact but also varying perceptions about its benefits. To be able to overcome the mental health impacts resulting from rapid changes with AI, it is important to reimagine how this technology can be a collaborator rather than a competitor. In this session, you will explore key mental health effects of AI and rapid change and discuss strategies to reframe and improve impacts of AI on employee mental health.
The Global Wellness Institute defines wellness as the active pursuit of activities, choices and lifestyles that lead to a state of holistic health. To support your wellness journey, you have access to various available resources.
