What is AI really doing to workers psychologically? Christopher Carey sits down with Candice Thompson, a Silicon Valley-based licensed psychotherapist specialising in workplace mental health, to get an honest, ground-level view of how AI is impacting the mental health and identity of workers in the tech industry.
From rising expectations and mass layoffs to identity crises and the fear of building your own replacement, Candice shares what she's actually seeing in her practice – and it's not the rosy picture the marketing messages would have you believe.
In this episode, we cover:
🔵 Why AI could be creating more work, not less, for many tech employees
🔵 The psychological toll of layoffs and job insecurity in Silicon Valley
🔵 How AI is reshaping worker identity, purpose, and self-worth
🔵 What tech leaders are getting wrong about their workforce
🔵 What it would actually take for AI to improve employee wellbeing
🔵 The growing risk of worker backlash – and why leaders should pay attention
Candice Thompson is a psychotherapist based in Silicon Valley, working with tech professionals navigating burnout, anxiety, and the psychological impact of AI-driven change. She has delivered talks nationally on AI and mental health, including a TEDx Talk.
