Will AI Make Stress a Superpower?

We’re constantly told we’re living in the Age of AI. But beyond the hype, what does that really mean for how we live, work and think? In this first episode, Lara Lewington, tech journalist and author, and Ben Clark from Future Worlds at the University of Southampton, explore the AI stories that genuinely matter. From the truth behind the headlines to the developments that deserve to be making the news. Each week we'll ask one big question and today we're exploring can AI really prevent burnout? Joining us is Reeva Misra, founder and CEO of WONE, an AI-powered stress coach used by high-pressure workplaces around the world. With a background in psychology and a career spanning science, health and technology, Reeva explains the science of stress, why modern work is pushing more people into chronic burnout, and how AI might help us recover in as little as 90 seconds. The humans who make this programme would love to hear from you.
