What is it about?

This paper examines how AI tools impact businesses, focusing on employee performance, innovation, well-being, and sustainability. While AI improves productivity by automating tasks and enhancing workflows, it can lead to negative effects: increased stress, burnout, and job dissatisfaction. The study explores how AI affects intellectual capital—human, structural, and relational—emphasizing that while AI boosts productivity and innovation, it can strain employees and increase energy consumption, impacting sustainability. The paper recommends that businesses adopt AI cautiously, implement AI ethics boards and mental health support strategies, and consider the environmental and social impacts to balance benefits with potential risks.
