AI & Mental Health: What Every Workplace Needs to Know

Artificial intelligence is changing the way we live and work—but what does it mean for mental health?

AI is weaving its way into how we work, parent, and care for our mental and physical health. It offers new possibilities, but also raises urgent questions about safety, reliability, and when to tread carefully.

In a recent series we cover how AI might be impacting leaders, employees, and even healthcare professionals, and offer perspectives and input on creating boundaries with these tools. For leaders, we explore the role AI should have in mental health care and the risks of chatbots. Employees will find guidance on navigating AI in daily life, including the risks of relying on AI for parenting and health advice.

AI is here to stay—these new pieces are intended to help our customers and their employees navigate its promise and its pitfalls with clarity and care.
