University faculty with higher AI literacy report greater work-life balance and job satisfaction because AI literacy increases satisfaction of autonomy, competence, and relatedness needs.

A peer-reviewed study published September 17, 2025 surveyed 511 university faculty to examine how AI literacy relates to well-being through Self-Determination Theory. It found AI literacy significantly enhances satisfaction of autonomy, competence, and relatedness, which in turn promotes greater work-life balance, with autonomy directly predicting job satisfaction.

Use of an ambient AI scribe for 30 days was associated with reduced self-reported burnout and lower note-related cognitive load and after-hours documentation time among ambulatory clinicians.

Between February and October 2024, six US health systems enrolled 451 ambulatory clinicians in a quality improvement study of an ambient AI scribe, with 263 included in analysis after 30 days of use. Self-reported burnout fell from 51.9% to 38.8% with an odds ratio of 0.26, and secondary measures showed lower cognitive task load, more focused attention on patients, and less after-hours documentation.
