As AI reshapes work in the US, therapists hear a growing fear: 'Am I becoming obsolete?'
Per a CNBC report, US therapists say more workers are bringing anxiety about artificial intelligence into therapy, driven by fears of job loss and becoming obsolete. Psychologists note that AI-related layoffs and workplace automation are triggering deeper questions about identity, self-worth and career stability. While the emotional toll is real, experts urge workers to grieve losses, separate identity from job titles, and build AI literacy to regain a sense of control amid rapid workplace change.
