Artificial intelligence (AI) is infiltrating many aspects of our lives, including time and task management. As MIT Technology Review writes, “AI makes it possible to personalize planning in real time” by predicting when, how, and exactly what time is best allocated for. Such recommendations help people be more productive, leaving less room for overload and putting off on various to-dos or things for later.
However, Harvard Business Review notes that automated AI algorithms can put a bit of pressure: “People feel like they have to be productive all the time when the AI is watching them.” Depending on the person, this can lead to stress, especially if it feels like every moment should be as productive as possible. It’s important to remember that AI should be helping people, not creating new sources of anxiety.
