H3 LIVE from H3 HR Advisors – Feb. 11, 2026

Are we unknowingly pushing our teams into burnout with AI-driven productivity boosts?

On the latest H3 LIVE, Trish and Steve uncover the hidden risks organizations face as AI tools turn everyone into superworkers – leading to overwork, fake expertise, and rising employee stress.

In this compelling episode, we unpack eye-opening research showing how AI’s rapid adoption might be driving workers to do more in less time – yet, paradoxically, creating greater pressure rather than relief. We explore how AI can elevate performance while risking burnout and superficial expertise, and discuss the urgent need for leaders to set smarter boundaries.

You’ll discover:

The surprising findings of a recent study on AI and employee productivity that reveal more work, not less How AI fosters overconfidence and fake expertise, giving rise to dangerous workplace illusions The concept of the “AI productivity trap”, and how better tools can backfire if not managed carefully

Why does this matter? Because ignoring these pitfalls risks derailing your company’s culture, hurting employee well-being, and ultimately, damaging your business performance. The future belongs to those who learn to harness AI wisely, balancing innovation with human resilience.
