Use of Artificial Intelligence and Self-Reported Mental Health Among U.S. Workers – 2025

Workplace artificial intelligence (AI) use is growing, yet AI’s effect on workers’ mental health remains unclear. This study analyzed cross-sectional data from Porter Novelli Public Services’ national survey, SummerStyles, conducted in June 2025, among a nationally representative random sample of 4,058 U.S. adults aged ≥18 years of whom 2,558 reported employment. Survey questions included frequency of workplace AI use and self-reported mental health outcomes attributed to workplace AI use. One quarter of employed respondents used AI at work, the majority of which reported workplace AI use had no noticeable impact on self-reported mental health. Forty percent of respondents reported they were “not anxious at all,” about AI replacing their jobs, while a third reported being “a little anxious.” Despite these findings, substantial gaps in the research on AI’s effects on workers persist.
