Type: article
Abstract: A surge in reliance towards the digital landscape amongst IT professionals has caused numerous issues including digital fatigue, mental stress, and a declining work-life balance.The role of artificial intelligence in the digital detox process in cases of well-being of IT specialists is analyzed in this review.AI-powered innovations provide smart uses for helping with screen time, reducing digital distractions, and enhancing physical and mental health with tailored interventions.These tools employ machine learning algorithms to analyze digital usage patterns, offer real-time feedback, and recommend breaks from the screen to help reduce the negative consequences of extended screen time.AI-Powered Stress Management Solutions: Biometric Monitoring, Sentiment Analysis, Virtual Therapy PlatformsIn the pursuit of mental well-being, AI-based stress management solutions, ranging from biometric monitoring and sentiment analysis to virtual therapy platforms, provide timely support.Furthermore, workplace interventions powered by AI help to improve productivity by automatically prioritizing tasks, managing workloads, and scheduling routine breaks.Some challenges include user resistance, privacy concerns and the necessity of customized solutions for different IT roles, even if AIpowered digital detox offers some benefits.This review points out the existing research gaps such as the absence of longitudinal studies, the limited investigation of user adaptation challenges in depth, an insufficient analysis of AI's long-term influence on cognitive performance.Incorporating this study into workplace policies demonstrates a shift towards integrating AI in a way that benefits employees while utilizing technology to focus on creating a healthier and more productive digital work environment.Future studies on AI customization, ethical applications, and the long-term consequences of AI behaviors will help optimize the use of AI for digital detox solutions.It highlights the opportunities of expanding the boundaries of artificial intelligence, providing important implications for IT professionals and organizations with respect to improving the digital lifestyle.
