Is AI in the workplace lightening your load…or frying your brain?

Researchers at Boston Consulting Group and the University of California, Riverside coined the term “AI brain fry” to describe “mental fatigue that results from excessive use of, interaction with, and/or oversight of AI tools beyond one’s cognitive capacity.” In other words, doing too much with A.I.

But beyond the psychic damage, there’s a lot in this brain fry idea that points to how we work with AI: for example, with all the managing it needs, is turning us all into bosses? And is this really the future of work?

Brittany is joined by John Herrman, tech columnist for New York Magazine, to get into the ins and outs of AI brain fry.
