AI / system type
AI, algorithmic management and broader workplace digitalization distinguished in the source
Workplace evidenceExamines workers, organizations or AI at work. Participants are not necessarily parents; family benefits are not established by this evidence alone.
The AI connection
System or context examined: AI, algorithmic management and broader workplace digitalization distinguished in the source. Algorithmic management/control is not assumed to be machine learning or generative AI.
Why this reading matters
The reading brings AI-specific and wider digital risks to worker mental health into a concrete discussion of humane work during technological change. It offers scoping review of scientific and grey literature evidence or analysis, not a promise of organizational or family benefit.
Workplace evidence
Work, care and the whole person.
The workplace lens is AI-specific and wider digital risks to worker mental health. Source setting or population: 43 sources on adult workers: 23 scientific articles and 20 grey-literature documents. Parenting and child-development outcomes are not inferred from the workplace evidence.

What should a workplace check before calling digital transformation good for wellbeing?
This scoping review of scientific and grey literature examines AI-specific and wider digital risks to worker mental health. Its TRICK home is Kindness, an editorial reading path rather than a claim that the paper tests the full framework.
Study context
43 sources on adult workers: 23 scientific articles and 20 grey-literature documents
Age / stage: Workplace literature or conceptual analysis; no single child age range
Read with three questions
- What should a workplace check before calling digital transformation good for wellbeing?
- What do this study’s design and population — 43 sources on adult workers: 23 scientific articles and 20 grey-literature documents — allow you to infer about another workplace?
- When considering AI-specific and wider digital risks to worker mental health, which decisions would need employee input before applying this reading to a working family’s circumstances?
Keep the limits in view
Evidence is heterogeneous and includes broader digitalization; the review explicitly separates AI-specific exposures from other digital work changes.
