AI for IT support: How artificial intelligence can prevent burnout, boost productivity

A robot hand extends its index finger to press the space bar on a laptop keyboard, representing artificial intelligence.Imagine spending day after day responding to the same requests for assistance: Password resets, software installation, troubleshooting network issues, and so on. Endlessly putting out the same fires would wear you down sooner or later.

Subsequently, it’s no surprise that 2 out of 5 tech workers are at high risk of burning out, according to The State of Burnout in Tech – 2022 Edition from the assessment platform provider Yerbo. The report is based on a 2021 survey of 32,644 IT sector employees in 33 countries.

Fifty-one percent said they feel they’re achieving less than they should at work, and 42 percent of the IT professionals at high risk of burnout were thinking about quitting within the next six months.
