A surprising trend is emerging: the earliest signs of burnout are appearing among the very individuals who have been the most enthusiastic about embracing AI in their work. As AI has enabled employees to take on more tasks, the traditional boundaries between work and personal time have begun to blur.

With AI freeing up more hours in the day, work has started to creep into what were once sacred spaces: lunch breaks and late evenings. Moreover, the to-do lists of these employees have expanded to fill every available hour, and then some, as they strive to capitalize on the increased productivity that AI offers.
