AI Anxiety: Strategies for Coping with Change and Uncertainty

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an important part of everyday life. It can help organize schedules, suggest routes to avoid traffic jams, analyze data, and even assist in health care. Across North America, new technologies are changing how we work, communicate, and make decisions. 

While these advancements bring opportunities, they can also leave people feeling uneasy. For some, the growing presence of AI creates a sense of uncertainty, pressure, or fear about what the future might hold. This feeling is often described as AI anxiety—a response to rapid technological change and the unknowns that come with it.
