  AI in the Workplace and How to Use It Without Letting It Think for You Artificial intelligence has quickly become part of everyday work. Employees use it to draft emails, summarize meetings, brainstorm ideas, organize information, and automate repetitive tasks. For many, it’s becoming second nature like using Google. Like any new technology, however, AI presents both opportunities and challenges. From a psychological perspective, the question isn’t whether AI is good or bad, it’s how we use it.

The Spotlight Effect

Image
  The Spotlight Effect: Why We Think Everyone Is Paying Attention to Us (When They Usually Aren’t) Have you ever replayed an awkward conversation for hours, convinced everyone noticed what you said? Maybe you stumbled over a presentation at work, spilled coffee during a meeting, or worried that others were judging your appearance, your voice, or your decisions long after the moment had passed.
