The promise of AI in the workplace has always rested on a simple equation: automate the routine, free up humans for higher-value work. It is the pitch that has launched a thousand consulting engagements and underpinned billions in enterprise software investment. But new research suggests the equation may be running in reverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A study published in Harvard Business Review<\/a> this month, based on eight months of ethnographic research at a US technology company with roughly 200 employees, found that AI tools did not reduce workload. They intensified it. Employees worked faster, took on more tasks, and felt busier than before \u2014 despite the efficiency gains that AI was supposed to deliver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers, Aruna Ranganathan and Xingqi Maggie Ye from UC Berkeley\u2019s Haas School of Business, identified three distinct mechanisms through which AI was quietly ratcheting up the pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Task expansion: doing more with less becomes doing more with the same<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first mechanism was task expansion. When AI tools made certain tasks faster, employees did not use the freed-up time for strategic thinking or creative work. Instead, they absorbed responsibilities that had previously belonged to other roles. Product managers and designers started writing code. Researchers took on engineering tasks. Workers assumed duties that, in the researchers\u2019 words, \u201cmight previously have justified additional help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a pattern that will be familiar to anyone who has watched organisations respond to efficiency gains over the past two decades. The spreadsheet did not eliminate accounting departments \u2014 it gave accountants more to do. Email did not reduce communication overhead \u2014 it multiplied it. AI appears to be following the same trajectory, with one critical difference: the speed at which task expansion occurs is considerably faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study also identified a secondary burden. Engineers found themselves spending additional time reviewing their colleagues\u2019 AI-assisted work, a form of quality assurance that had not existed before because the work itself had not existed before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vanishing boundary between work and rest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The second mechanism was the blurring of work-life boundaries. Employees began incorporating work into what had previously been downtime \u2014 lunch breaks, gaps between meetings, even waiting for files to load. Because interacting with an AI tool felt, as one participant put it, \u201ccloser to chatting than to undertaking a formal task,\u201d the psychological barrier to picking up work during off moments effectively disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a subtler form of intensification, and arguably a more dangerous one. The physical cues that traditionally separated work from rest \u2014 closing a document, leaving a desk, switching off a screen \u2014 lose their power when work can be initiated through a conversational prompt on any device. The distinction between being productive and being available collapses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The multitasking illusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The third mechanism was increased multitasking. With AI handling parts of each task, employees managed multiple active threads simultaneously, creating what the researchers described as \u201ccontinual switching of attention.\u201d Worse, because AI made fast output visible to colleagues, it raised speed expectations across teams. Employees felt pressure not just to work with AI, but to keep pace with the output norms that AI made possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result was a self-reinforcing cycle: AI accelerated certain tasks, which raised expectations for speed, which made workers more reliant on AI, which widened the scope of what they attempted. As one engineer told the researchers, they felt \u201cbusier than before\u201d despite the supposed time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not new, but newly documented<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is worth noting that the HBR findings are not entirely without precedent. Research from the University of Chicago and the University of Copenhagen<\/a> published last year found that AI chatbots saved workers only about an hour per week \u2014 and that the tools created enough new tasks to largely nullify even that modest gain. What Ranganathan and Ye have added is the ethnographic depth: eight months of direct observation, 40 interviews, and a detailed account of the mechanisms through which intensification occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For consulting practitioners, this distinction matters. The earlier studies quantified the problem. This one explains the pathways. And that makes it actionable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connecting the dots: from strategy gap to people gap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The timing of this research is significant. As maddaisy noted last week<\/a>, Deloitte\u2019s 2026 State of AI in the Enterprise report revealed a widening gap between strategic confidence and operational readiness. Forty-two per cent of companies consider their AI strategy highly prepared, yet fewer feel equipped to execute it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The burnout research suggests one reason that gap persists: organisations are measuring AI adoption by deployment metrics \u2014 tools rolled out, processes automated, tasks per hour \u2014 while ignoring the human cost of that adoption. The operational readiness problem is not just about data pipelines and integration architecture. It is about whether the people using these tools can sustain the pace that the tools enable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This also has implications for the AI governance frameworks<\/a> now coming into force across Europe and beyond. Most governance discussions focus on algorithmic bias, data privacy, and transparency. Workforce wellbeing \u2014 whether AI deployment is creating sustainable working conditions \u2014 barely features. As enforcement mechanisms sharpen, that gap may become harder to defend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What practitioners should watch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The HBR researchers recommend what they call \u201cAI practice\u201d \u2014 a set of organisational disciplines designed to counteract intensification. These include intentional pauses (structured breaks for assessment), sequencing (deliberate pacing rather than continuous output), and human grounding (protected time for dialogue and connection).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are not revolutionary ideas. They are, in essence, good management practices adapted for an AI-augmented workplace. But the fact that they need to be articulated at all tells a story about how many organisations are deploying AI tools without thinking through the second-order effects on their people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For consultancies advising on AI transformation, this research is a prompt to broaden the conversation. Deployment is not the finish line. If the tools make employees faster but not better \u2014 busier but not more effective \u2014 then the productivity gains that justified the investment may prove temporary, eroded by turnover, cognitive fatigue, and declining work quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The question, as the researchers put it, is not whether AI will change work, but whether organisations will actively shape that change \u2014 or let it quietly shape them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
