Listen "How Is AI Changing Workplace Connection?"
Episode Synopsis
Is AI eroding human connection? In this episode of Work Week, Dr. Gabby Burlacu of The Upwork Research Institute explores a surprising paradox in the modern workplace: AI is driving huge gains in workplace efficiency—but those who report the biggest productivity boosts are also most at risk of burnout and disconnection, even leading to resignation. Drawing from The Upwork Research Institute's latest research report, From Tools to Teammates: Navigating the Human-AI Relationship, we discuss how to strike the right balance between driving productivity and maintaining close, professional relationships in an AI-driven workplace. Plus, learn steps you can take to restore human connection in your workflows. Listen to the episode to discover how to build both high-performing and deeply connected teams.
