The Workplace Wellbeing Initiative treats anxiety generated by AI deployment as an occupational psychosocial risk affecting mental health, engagement and retention rather than a communications problem. It argues the risk comes from how AI is implemented, governed and communicated inside organizations, not from the technology itself.
