But employees who strongly agree that AI makes them more productive are 4.5 times more likely to experience burnout. Middle managers are feeling the strain most acutely, reporting burnout at more than three times the rate of individual contributors.

New capability shows how work is changing task by task – and connects those insights to skills, workforce planning, learning, mobility, and redeployment Fuel50, the award-winning Workforce Transformation Platform, today announced the release of Task Intelligence, a new capability that helps HR, workforce, and business leaders understand how artificial intelligence is changing work inside roles—and decide what should happen next.

Fuel50’s Task Intelligence gives leaders a clearer view of that change. It surfaces the tasks inside roles, classifies each task according to the appropriate balance of human and AI contribution, and rolls those insights acros...
