When AI Oversight Becomes the Burnout: What BCG’s “Brain Fry” Data Shows
BCG surveyed 1,488 US workers: those reporting AI “brain fry” had 33% more decision fatigue than those who did not.
The variable is not AI itself — it is whether AI use adds decisions or removes them.
That is a governance question.
Finding: 33% more decision fatigue among workers reporting AI brain fry
