Promoting Tolerance to Uncertainty in the Age of AI: a Conversation with Labayh's Ashraf Saleem

What does AI mean for employee wellbeing in today’s workplace? Ashraf Saleem is an Organizational Psychology Consultant at Labayh, a leading Saudi mental health and wellness platform that connects users with licensed psychologists, psychiatrists, and family consultants for private, remote consultations. We discussed the company’s recently published report, “The Human Side of AI: Employee Wellbeing in the Age of Intelligent Workplaces,” exploring the use of AI in Saudi Arabia, rising stress and uncertainty, and practical tools to support employee wellbeing.

Ashraf shares how Labayh is helping organizations across the region combat AI-related anxiety through targeted assessments such as the “tolerance to uncertainty” test, which identifies at-risk employees grappling with the destabilizing side effects of AI adoption — a truly global phenomenon.

They also break down practical strategies, from managing managerial pressure and preventing burnout to designing personalized workshops for the AI era.
