The real effects of artificial intelligence on employment are still difficult to assess, but that doesn’t stop some from speculating about the benefits that workers and managers will derive from the use of this new technology. However, according to a recent study, this progress may come at the expense of well-being at work.

This research was carried out by a think tank called the Institute for the Future of Work among 5,000 UK employees. Most of those surveyed regularly use information and communication technologies (ICT) at work, be they computers, smartphones, connected devices or artificial intelligence software.
