Mexican firms deploy AI digital twins to prevent worker burnout

This piece from Mexico is a useful counterweight to the usual narratives about AI either killing jobs or turbo‑charging productivity. Here, companies are using AI‑driven digital twins to model workloads and collaboration patterns so they can spot burnout before it cascades into attrition, mental‑health costs and lost output, especially as a 40‑hour workweek comes into force.

For the AGI conversation, it’s a reminder that one of AI’s most immediate leverage points is organisational design, not just automating tasks. Tools that can surface “invisible” overload and re‑balance work could make large organisations more resilient to the shocks and re‑skilling demands that more powerful AI systems will bring. It also suggests a path where AI supports worker wellbeing and regulatory shifts rather than being framed solely as a threat, which could matter politically as we get closer to deploying more autonomous systems in the workplace.
