The Impact of Technology and AI on Stress

An interview between Carole Spiers, Chair, ISMAUK and CEO, Carole Spiers Group, and Sarah Njamu, CEO of Compu Connect Education

Technology and AI have a multi-faceted influence on stress. On one hand, they offer advantages, such as increased efficiency, improved healthcare, and enhanced communication. On the other hand, they introduce new challenges, including information overload, social comparison, and job insecurity.

In this podcast, Carole delves into the management of stress induced by technology and provides practical strategies for mitigating the negative consequences of digital advancements, technology, and AI integration on the workforce. As we increasingly incorporate technology into our lives, comprehending and addressing its impact on stress remains crucial for the wellbeing of individuals and society.
