SINGAPORE/WASHINGTON, June 13 (dpa): People who use artificial intelligence (AI) at work are more likely to be lonely and have trouble sleeping than others, according to a new survey of hundreds of workers in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and the US.

"The rapid advancement in AI systems is sparking a new industrial revolution that is reshaping the workplace with many benefits but also some uncharted dangers, including potentially damaging mental and physical impacts for employees,” said Pok Man Tang, assistant professor of management at the University of Georgia.
