  "account": "The article discusses how the erosion of autonomy in the workplace is contributing to depression and anxiety among workers. The International Labour Organization (ILO) has identified the monitoring and deprivation of autonomy of workers as a new psychosocial risk. A 2022 World Health Organization (WHO) guideline found that having control over decision-making at work is linked to better mental health. Research has shown that over-automation can increase mental workload and reduce sense of control, but that partial automation can actually reduce workload and improve situation awareness. Experts argue that workers should be involved in the design of automated systems to ensure that they have meaningful control over their work.",
