💼 AI increases work intensity, not workload reduction
According to ActivTrak's '2026 State of the Workplace' report, AI adoption is leading to increased work intensity: time spent on messengers has grown by 145%, on email by 104%, and on business software by 94%. Instead of resting, employees are spending the time saved on new tasks.
🌍 AI is changing the productivity model: efficiency leads to increased process density. Companies are facing the risk of employee burnout.
👤 Using AI can make the workday chaotic. Instead of resting, you will start taking on more complex tasks, which requires new attention management skills.
