The psychological toll of AI-driven automation on the workforce deserves serious attention. As artificial intelligence increasingly reshapes job markets, many workers face not just economic disruption but genuine mental health challenges—anxiety about relevance, identity tied to profession, and uncertainty about future prospects. Life coaches and mental health professionals are already seeing rising demand from clients grappling with these transitions. The question isn't just whether jobs will be replaced, but how we support people through the identity crisis that comes with rapid technological displacement. This matters beyond tech circles: as automation spreads across industries, the human element—psychological resilience and community support—becomes as critical as the economic policies we design. Worth considering as we build the future of work.
