AI promised productivity. But what if it is quietly increasing your workload?
In this episode of AI Six, I unpack a major study from University of California Berkeley, featured in Harvard Business Review, which found that when employees were given AI tools, they worked faster, longer and took on more responsibility. Not because they were told to. Because they could.
The researchers call it workload creep. AI did not reduce work. It intensified it.
I also explore related findings from Harvard Business School on public attitudes to automation and why human connection still matters.
