Ep. 132: How much should we worry about the invasiveness of team support AI?

This episode examines research on electronic team monitoring AI systems and their psychological impact on workers. David Provan and Drew Rae discuss a July 2025 study from Cognition, Technology and Work by German researchers exploring how perceived invasiveness of AI monitoring affects team members' stress levels and acceptance. The research included two experimental studies testing different levels of monitoring invasiveness and purposes, from basic email counting to biometric stress monitoring.
