A growing body of research from UC Berkeley, Boston Consulting Group, and other institutions finds that AI tools are intensifying work rather than reducing it, with employees reporting higher cognitive fatigue, longer hours, and a phenomenon researchers call "AI brain fry." Despite 96% of C-suite executives expecting productivity gains from AI adoption, studies show that 77% of employees say AI has added to their workload, 71% report burnout, and the most productive AI users are paradoxically the most likely to quit.
